Abstract:
The increasing complexity of the computing environment, and the rise in
user expectations, makes achieving satisfactory portability
increasingly hard. De jure and de facto standards, and the tools and
techniques of portability technology represent complementary
approaches to addressing this problem. the broader view is that
portability and the closely related problems of internationalization
and interoperability are best treated as instances of software reuse.
