Abstract
A first application is constrained from calling a middleware subsystem, where the middleware subsystem is able to access at least one feature selected from among a basic input/output system (BIOS) and hardware. The first application accesses the middleware system through a proxy, where accessing the middleware subsystem allows the first application to communicate with the at least one feature.
