The principle Separation of mechanism and policy has several uses in the field of Computer science.

The separation of mechanism and policy is the fundamental approach of a micro kernel that distinguishes it from a monolithic one. In a microkernel the majority of operating system services are provided by user-level server processes.[1]

Artsy, in a 1987 paper, discussed an approach for an operating system design having an "extreme separation of mechanism and policy".[2][3]
