Abstract
Operating Systems (OS) are the software parts that abstract the hardware to a higher level to be used by developers, users and other applications. It also ensures, with some limitations, a properly use of all these pieces and computing resources. In the last years, with the enormous success of the Internet, network management has been added to those tasks, allowing us the implementation and evolution of new technologies by providing basic services for them. However, all the recent advances in this area are constructed over the OS, not inside it, which implies that some levels of software abstractions are required to adapt them. As a result, it can be understood that the role of the OS has not reached enough control over new applications, technologies and paradigms creating a lack of security and efficiency. In this paper a new approach for the OS modeling is presented. It is taken into account the emerged necessity of improving it with modern paradigms such as interaction-based computing, cloud-computing and even multi-agent systems.
