Abstract
The integration of heterogeneous operating systems is, in practice, at best at its very beginning and still far from being materialized in its full potential. The subject involves a wide spectrum of issues, including those related to the semantics of functions, to security and to system management. In this paper we will identify some missing functions in each of these areas to prove that there is a significant demand for research, standardization and software extensions.
