CorneliOS is a virtual web based OS that runs in your web browser. All applications and files are stored on the CorneliOS server and are accessible all the time and anywhere. CorneliOS is platform and browser independent and is available as free open source software under the GPL as well as under a commercial license.

CorneliOS is a multi-user system, which means that multiple users can have an account on a single CorneliOS server. Each user has its own home directory and his own desktop.

To make sharing and protecting files and directories possible, CorneliOS offers a virtual file system offering many advanced features, including:

- Dynamic access control (DAC) supporting UNIX, RING and ACL permissions.
- Backup technology integrated directly into the file system.
- Everything can be represented as a file inside the root file system - including system information, databases and remote file systems.

CorneliOS applications can be common web applications written in PHP, Perl, Python or JAVA, or applications written for the CORA framework. Some existing web applications will be adopted to make it easy to integrate them.

The CORA framework is a CorneliOS technology that allows to turn common websites into web applications. CORA uses both the CorneliOS system API (which offers common I/O features) as well as the CoSCRIPT language, which offers tags that easily allow to create dynamic content.

Further CorneliOS technologies include CorDoc, a DocBook-like XML scheme to create documentation files, and 3DVR, a web-based 3D environment.

A very important goal of the CorneliOS is the ease of use. Therefore the desktop has been inspired by both Windows Vista and MacOS X. System commands and the filesystem are very UNIX-like.

CorneliOS users can interact with the system using the CorneliOS desktop GUI, the CorneliOS web based terminal, or the CorneliOS text based terminal (running inside a common UNIX shell)

CorneliOS has been written in Perl and is currently running on top of BSD/UNIX-like host operating systems. A future version shall also run on top of a Windows/IIS based host OS. It is developed using agile methods inspired by Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP), and most of the development is test driven. System commands and API features can be tested via terminal, there are test suites and a demo sites that allows allows to test all CoSCRIPT features.

CorneliOS is still alpha code and must be considered to be a technology demo for developers. It is not intended for end users yet.
