What's at issue

Owl's Without Limit - is a project to create a system consisting of models, specifications, test methods and tools, which makes it possible to use a program without re-compilation across hardware boundaries on every computer.


Benefits

  • Usage of ready-made programs on a user-defined system of his own choice
  • Program development without special knowledge of the operating system
  • Best possible utilisation of new systems by existing software
  • No attention must be paid anymore to binary compatibility during the development of new hardware technologies
  • Existing software is still running on newer systems, e.g. company software has not to be adapted
  • Programs are each executed at there best on the different systems
  • There is no need for an update or initial purchase of application programs when updating the operating system or changing the hardware
  • The specifications of the owl's-system are accessible for all at no charge
  • Conformance of the run-time environment to the specification is guaranteed by validation
  • Lower learning efforts for developers
  • Optimal reusability of code
