In this paper we present our vision of a software architecture that faces up to these challenges, and a simulation framework that we have used to experiment with our ideas.}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery, Inc.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/an-overview-of-the-blue-genel-system-software-organization/}, edition = {EuroPar 2003 (International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing)}, note = {Distinguished paper - also published in Parallel Processing Letters, Vol.13, Number 4, December 2003}, }
