Abstract

Sheer scale of ULS systems will change everything and make it impossible to rely on our current knowledge and techniques of software development. At first, we need to fully understand the nature and derived challenges from characteristics of these systems, then we should introduce new ideas for how to develop them. As architecture is the key artifact in development of ultra large scale systems, this topic is at the top of the agenda in this research area. In this position paper we try to investigate architectural issues unique to a ULS system, discuss and debat the architectural challenges posed by these systems.
