<title>Computing Center Software (CCS)
<title_line>CCS is a Metacomputer Management Software. It provides a homogeneous interface to a network of MPP systems. 
<abstract>
The Computing Center Software (CCS) is a distributed software package
for the management of parallel high performance computing systems. 
It provides a seamless environment with transparent access to a pool
of parallel machines. CCS is responsible for user authorization and accounting,
for serving a mixture of interactive and batch jobs and for optimized
request scheduling. It provides an automized reservation system and supports
unstable WAN connections.
CCS is implemented as a multi-agent software, operating in the Unix front-end
area of the HPC systems to be managed.
It was designed to be mostly independent of the systems served and mostly
independent of their operating system.
