A Ameba distributed operating technique is a microkernel-based the food and drug administration operating models written by Andrew S. Tanenbaum at Vrije Universiteit. the aim of the design was to build a timesharing system that appeared to the user as a single machine possibly though it was going in multiple machines. Development seems to use at times stalled: a files in the latest version (Quintuplet.Triad) were previous modified on the 12th of February 2001.

A Python programming language was originally developed for this platform.

Amoeba
Powerful free, open source, microkernel-based system that turns a collection of workstations or single-board computers into a transparent distributed system. Used in academia, industry, and government for many years. Runs on many platforms.

Amoeba Distributed Operating System
Technical paper, describes Amoeba, with special focus on its object-based design and use of capabilities, and its innovative Wide Area Network communication scheme; ends by comparing Amoeba and the Sprite distributed OS.
