TL;DR: The Common Component Architecture (CCA) provides a means for software developers to manage the complexity of large-scale scientific simulations and to move toward a plug-and-play environment for high-performance coputing.

TL;DR: The Earth System Grid (ESG) is a collaborative interdisciplinary project aimed at addressing the challenge of enabling management, discovery, access, and analysis of these critically important datasets in a distributed and heterogeneous computational environment.

TL;DR: This group is collaborating with others in the high-performance computing community to design suites of domain-specific component interface specifications and underlying implementations for parallel PDE-based simulations.

TL;DR: This work describes some recent research on quality-of-service issues to address the computational performance and accuracy of scientific simulations and discusses how these requirements shape the Common Component Architecture.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Common Component Architecture (CCA) is used to address the quality-of-service (QoS) issues in scientific simulations. But the requirements of scientific computing on massively parallel computers presents unique challenges to component-based software engineering.
