Most computer users are familiar with the problems of sharing
software with others, and the transfer of programs from one
computing environment to another. Software represents an
ever-increasing proportion of the cost of computing and these costs
tend to nullify all the economic advantages flowing from the wider
availability of cheap hardware. Years ago it was hoped that the
widespread use of high-level programming languages would help in
alleviating the problems of software production, by increasing
productivity and by making it simpler for users with similar
problems to be able to use the same programs, possibly on different
types of machines. It is a common experience that in practice this
simple optimism has proved to be unfounded. It was these
considerations which led us in 1979 to organize a two-week course
on "Programming for Software Sharing" at the European Community
Joint Research Centre, Ispra Establishment (Italy), forming part of
the regular series of "Ispra Courses." With prominent invited
lecturers, local contributions and through discussion sessions we
examined with an audience from many countries the problems involved
in the sharing and transfer of software, as well as suggesting ways
of overcoming them. In our local environment we are faced daily
with three problems both from engagements in software exchange in
the scientific-technical field on a Europe-wide or world-wide
basis, and from work with programming techniques and contributions
to the international standardization process.
