4 Conclusions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The release 1.2 of the SiSSA Manager has been completed and is currently under use at the sites involved in the SiSSA project.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Given the emphasis on rapid prototyping, SiSSA has been developed with flexibility during the development phase as a primary goal. Obviously this flexibility is no longer needed when an application is delivered (on the contrary flexibility can considerably reduce the performances of the system). We are currently studying approaches to allow the delivery of efficient runtime processors.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> Currently the SiSSA Manager is a single-user application. An extension is the possibility of having more than one user that uses it at the same time.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> The SiSSA system has been developed as part of the TAL project. TAL is a project partially funded by the Italian Ministry for University and Scientific Research.</Paragraph>
