Abstract: The Fox project will use an advanced programming language to 
        build software such as operating systems, network protocols, 
        and distributed systems.
        The goals of the project are to improve the design and 
        construction of real systems software and to further the 
        development of advanced programming languages.
        
        We will base our work on Standard ML, a modern functional 
        programming language that provides polymorphism, first-class 
        functions, exception handling, garbage collection, a 
        parameterized module system, static typing, and formal 
        semantics.
        The Fox project spans a wide range of research interests, from 
        experimental systems building to type theory, and involves 
        several faculty members.
