Our proposed aims are to design, construct and evaluate a generic system architecture that is compliant to the needs of potentially large, long lived, concurrently accessed, user-centred systems (persistent process application systems - PPASs). The novelty of this compliant architecture is that the layers of abstraction are designed, top down, with the philosophy of fitting the architecture to the needs of the application. This contrasts with the ore traditional, bottom up, approach of providing static abstract layers designed to meet the predicted needs of the majority of applications. Architectural compliance allows the support architecture to be varied dynamically to meet the changing demands of the application. The key scientific advance, in our approach, is to separate mechanism and policy at all architectural layers. The benefits of compliant architectures are a reduction in complexity, with corresponding gains in flexibility, portability, and performance. While it si clear that compliant architectures may be built, it is not obvious that they will meet their design goals. Thus we propose to design, tailor, implement, measure, and evaluate a realistic PPAS as part of the research to provide the proof of concept and performance of the architecture.
