Abstract:
This position paper considers how Meta-Object Protocol
(MOP) technology can be used to support operating
system flexibility including the dynamic adaption
and extension of the system. We are interested in applying
MOPs to a domain (that of operating systems)
where they have had little acceptance. We believe that
this is largely due to the complexity of operating system
software and the possible security loophole(s) that
MOPs can introduce. We address these problems by
the novel use of multiple, fine-grained MOPs and a
category of MOPs called Extension Protocols to provide
controlled, secure extension without the limitations
of predefined ?hooks? into the operating system.
