Eros

EROS (The Extremely Reliable Operating System) is an operating system developed by the University of Pennsylvania and the Johns Hopkins University. It is mostly used as a research project. As of 2005, real world usage is unknown, and development has stopped. Interesting features include automatic data and process persistence, real-time support, POSIX compatibility, and capability-based security.
