The increasing amount of data available to astronomers demands efficient, scalable data processing systems for analysis. Most of the legacy systems (e.g. AIPS, Gipsy, IRAF, Miriad, MIDAS, Starlink) were designed for single-user desktop computers and offer only limited scalability. Furthermore, support for most of these systems has been reduced significantly in recent years. Whereas the VO initiative will provide easy, homogeneous access to data and computational services, there is also a need for a common software environment which astronomers can use on their desktop for local processing and development of new applications. The OPTICON network 3.6 and the US-NVO have started discussions on high-level requirements and architectural concepts for such a future astronomical software environment. This poster gives an overview of the current development of these discussions.
