Integration Framework and Middleware Services

To accommodate rapidly changing requirements of physics modules, we have developed a software framework that allows the individual components to be developed as independently as possible and integrated subsequently with little or no changes. It provides maximum flexibility for physics codes and can be adapted to fit the diverse needs of the components, instead of requiring the opposite. This framework is different from many traditional software architectures and frameworks, which typically assume that the framework is fully in control, and are designed for extension instead of integration.
