Abstract
The implementor of an operating system service faces inherent dilemmas in choosing implementation strategies. A new approach to operating system design is emerging in which, rather than attempting to hide these dilemmas, they are exposed to clients, using a meta-protocols. Object-oriented programming techniques play an important role in enabling meta-protocols to expose these dilemmas to the client in a principled and modular fashion
