Heterogeneity in distributed systems is potentially the major restricting factor to effective resource utilisation. In the global distributed operating system, where resource sharing crosses many organisational boundaries on a world-wide scale, this problem is increased. The approach to solving the heterogeneity problem is to provide a simple, coherent and consistent base on which to build services. The global distributed operating system provides support for remote heterogeneous service access. Supporting existing services is an important aspect that is aimed at minimising the changeover effort and cost from the old operating system to the new global distributed operating system.
