Abstract
A system and method for scheduling and coordinating tasks between a master application (102) and a slave application (104), the method comprises receiving a request from an application program; determining whether the request includes an embedded subtask; extracting the subtask and sending the subtask to a shared memory space (114) for retrieval by the slave application (104), if the request includes an embedded subtask; and waiting for a response from the slave application (104).
