Dependability, lucidity of design and ease-of-administration are more and more outrivaling performance as the top priority in Operating System design. These endeavors have led to a new generation of Operating Systems that abolish physical address space separation by the restriction to type-safe languages and memory-managed runtime environments. Provided that adequately efficient XML-message representations are used, this paper argues that these novel approaches to OS design are well-suited to make XML-Message-based communication sufficiently fast to introduce it along with the notion of services into the very heart of Operating Systems. By these means a truly homogeneous communication scheme can be offered in which services provided by the Operating System, applications and remote entities can be consumed alike. This paper will present motivation and implementation of SISC, a SOAP-based and service-oriented middleware prototype facilitating shared DOM communication in next-generation Operating Systems. It also presents some preliminary performance measurements that suggest the viability of the underlying approach.
