Abstract
This paper presents the design of an object-oriented file system which was developed as a part of the "OBJIX Object-Oriented Operating System" project. The file system is a self-contained program system which is decomposed using a standard object-oriented framework concept. A novel approach to object-oriented frameworks, the Class Hierarchy Framework concept recapitulated in this paper, is employed in structuring components of the file system. Further, this paper illustrates on an example how the file system pursues a typical system call.
