Interoperability In EnvironmentsOur work on support for interoperability originated as part of our research on object management for next-generation software development environments [9,34].This research is being done as part of the Arcadia project [30], a collaborative software environment research program encompassing groups at several universities and industrial organizations.The objective of Arcadia is to develop advanced software environment technology and to demonstrate this technology through prototype environments.Three important goals of nextgeneration software development environments, such as those envisioned by Arcadia, are extensibility, integration and broad scope.In particular, Arcadia environments
