Hi folks,
is there any paper which shows the benefits of synthetic filesystems
for application software development ?
I'd like to show people in several other projects (eg. moz) why
it's good to split large applications into several subsystems
speaking to each other via synthetic filesystems (eg. instead
of individual IPC mechanisms).
thx

Maybe some of the Plan B papers might help there.
See lsub.org (the papers page).

There are a few here: http://cm.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Papers/index.html
Probably from those there, the closest to what you want could be:
The Ubiquitous File Server in Plan 9 by C. H. Forsyth and Distributed
Computing With Plan 9 by Sape Mullender and Dave Presotto.
