Issues in holistic system design

The coordination of layers in computer and software systems is one of the main challenges in designing such systems today. In this paper we consider Holistic System Design as a way of integrating requirements and facilities of different system layers. We also discuss some of the challenges that this kind of system design poses for computer science in general as well as programming languages and operating systems in particular.
