  abstract = {
    Several projects in the operating systems research community suggest a
    trend of convergence among features once divided between operating
    systems and languages. We describe how partial evaluation and
    transformational programming systems apply to this trend by providing a
    general framework for application support, from compilation to run-time
    services. We contend that the community will no longer think of
    implementing a static collection of services and calling it an
    operating system; instead, this general framework will allow
    applications to be flexibly configured, and the ``operating system''
    will simply be the application support that is supplied at run-time.
