Follow-up with the previous post, we now shift our focus to the New Generation Operating System Platform Services .
The new generation OS platform services are designed to facilitate application developers to build cloud-based lifestyle-aware applications efficiently. The primary reason to design a new generation OS is for efficiency purpose. Although cloud-based applications can build lifestyle logics on top of a general purpose operating system, building a specialized operating system primarily for cloud-based lifestyle-aware application will help to manage local-to-cloud resources much more efficiently. Similar to real-time embedded systems, they require specialized OS to meet their specific application requirements. Lifestyle-aware applications that make use of Unified Computing Hardware Infrastructure will demand the same level of specializations in which the general purpose OS is difficult to satisfy.
In my opinion, the New Generation OS Platform Services is composed of 3 building blocks namely Urban Sensing Technology, Augmented Reality Technology and Social Networking Technology. Urban Sensing Technology and Augmented Reality Technology are designed to describe and understand the environment in which a particular individual is living, whereas the Social Network Technology is designed to enrich the interactions and connectivities between people. As a whole, they provide some good indications about an individual lifestyle.
This is my speculation of the development trend for the operating system that is specifically designed for the unified computing hardware infrastructure. Although, it is far away from be a solid idea but I just can't stop to imagine that will happen some days. :)
