This paper presents an overview of the Livermore Interactive Network Communication System (LINCS) architecture. This section outlines its general requirements and the following sections outline the central features of its design that meet these requirements. LINCS is an integrated operating system and network architecture. To emphasize this integration we refer to LINCS as a network or distributed operating system architecture. A metaphor that may be useful in thinking about LINCS is that it provides a software bus structure that provides a framework for integrating new applications and services. The software bus is defined by a layered set of communication protocols. 25 references.
