Abstract

The Commission on Software Issues in the 1980s, comprised of representatives from computer software-related professional, business, and trade associations, has researched several critical issues facing the American computer software industry in the 1980s. The Commission's Software Standards Task Force discovered that there are many issues, including concern about incompatibility of successive versions of standard programming languages, acceleration of the development of voluntary standards, and better definition of software engineering activities. Although certain constraints inherent in the American marketplace must be considered, the widespread use of small computers and producing needed software requires establishing different priorities for standards development.
