This is one the best architecture I've ever seen: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/ComponentArchitecture.
It seems like you do not know much about software architecture patterns, I would recommend you reading Pattern Oriented Software Architecture books and Enterprise Architecture Patterns.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
