  abstract = {The growth in computing resources at scientific computing centers
  has created new challenges for system software. These multi-teraflop systems
  often exceed the capabilities of the system software and require new
  approaches to accommodate these large processor counts. The costs associated
  with development and maintenance of this software are also significant
  impediments, which are compounded by a lack of interoperability because of
  site-specific enhancements. The Scalable System Software project seeks to
  address these issues through a component based approach to system software
  development. An overview of this design and the benefits of such an approach
  will be discussed in this paper.}
