Abstract:
1. One or more computer storage media having stored thereon an operating system that resolves conflicts between single-item access applications and set-based access applications, the operating system comprising: an agent component, wherein the agent component is configured to: a protocol component employed by the agent component to mitigate data access conflicts resulting from communications between the agent component and the SIAA and the SBAA, wherein the data access conflicts result from the SIAA being configured to allow access to only a single data item at a time while the SBAA is configured to allow concurrent access to multiple data items, and wherein the protocol component is further configured to synchronize the SIAA and the SBAA with the agent component in a user mode; first application programming interface (API) associated with the SIAA, wherein the first API is handle-based; a second API associated with the SBAA, wherein the second API is not handle-based; and at least one universal naming component associated with the SIAA or the SBAA.
