'''NetKernel''' is a British software company and software platform by the same name that is used for High Performance Computing, Enterprise Application Integration, and Energy Efficient Computation.

It allows developers to cleanly separate code from architecture. It can be used as an [[application server]], embedded in a Java container or employed as a [[cloud computing]] platform.

As a platform, it is an implementation of the [[resource-oriented computing]] (ROC) abstraction. ROC is a ''logical'' computing model that resides on top of but is completely isolated from the ''physical'' realm of code and objects. In ROC, information and services are identified by logical addresses which are resolved to physical endpoints for the duration of a request and then released. Logical indirect addressing results in flexible systems that can be changed while the system is in operation. In NetKernel, the boundary between the logical and physical layers is intermediated by an operation-system caliber [[microkernel]] that can perform various transparent optimization.

The idea of using resources to model abstract information stems from the [[REST]] architectural style and the [[World Wide Web]]. The idea of using a uniform addressing model stems from the [[Unix]] operating system. NetKernel can be considered a unification of the Web and Unix implemented as a
software [[operating system]] running on a [[monolithic kernel|monolithic]] microkernel within a single computer.

NetKernel was developed by 1060 Research and is offered under a dual [[open-source software]]<ref name="NKSElicense"/> and commercial software license.
