A No Longer Solved Problem
Stuart I. Feldman, W. Morven Gentleman · 1990
Of Man's First Disobedience, .. . or Not long ago, the problem of software portability seemed on the way to solution. Now, the need and demand for portability is enormously greater, but solution seems much further away. Reasons include stricter requirements for portability, different expec- tations by and of the people doing the work, and a far wider range of environments in which software must function. This paper describes how this came about and modern approaches to the problem.
