The present invention concerns a method for exchanging information between
processes, tasks or computer applications executed by different operating
systems coexisting on the same computer or the same hardware platform.
This method allows communication between at least two client processes
executed at the same time in a hardware platform (10) comprising one or
more processors and storage means, at least part of which constitutes an
addressable memory area that can be used as a working memory. These
client processes are executed in two different operating systems
(respectively) that are not directly compatible with one another. The
method is characterized in that these the client processes write or read
or modify information called exchange data in at least one common part,
of the addressable memory of the hardware platform. The common part
comprises an exchange memory.
