IEEE-CS has a standards committee working on a standard programmatic
interface to a micro-processor operating system.  This committee, called
MOSI (Micro-processor Operating System Interface Standard), has been working
for about three years.  The current draft, Draft 6.2, is in the final
stages of subcommittee review; the previous draft passed an intermediate
IEEE standards review board.  Draft 6.2 is being published for public
review and comment.

Following is an excerpt from Section 1.1, "SCOPE."

"This standard applies to programmatic interfaces for microprocessor
operating systems.  These programmatic interfaces are used by
microprocessor applications to interface with operating system
services.  The standard is not an operating system standard....  This
interface can be implemented as a direct interface to an operating
system, a soruce transliteration from the MSOI interface, or a dynamic
link library translation."
