Abstract :
This paper is concerned with the similarity of services implemented by different applications and those of the operating system (OS). We suggest that many of these services be built into an extensible OS, so that they can be shared by all users of that system. This is not dissimilar to the notions of Malcolm Atkinson [in: International Workshop an Distributed Object Management; ACM SIGMOD Record, vol. 22, no. 1, March 1993], but we would differ on the nature of integration. In essence, we advocate extending his scalable persistent foundation (SPF) to include full database support for complex objects
