Software engineering environment development (SEED): an integration project of ROC

The SEED development environment composes a software developer´s service center, workstation environment (user site), and a communications network. Applications emphasis is on business software written in Cobol, scientific and engineering software written in Fortran 77, and system software written in C. Some AI or real-time and military-usable languages such as Lisp, Prolog, and Ada are also provided for software developers. Instead of having a heavy economic reliance on manufacturing, Taiwan must achieve even greater success in the services and information industries. In these industries, there is no more important component than software. It is no exaggeration to state that the continued elevation of the living standard in Taiwan depends on the growth and near term future domestic dominance and international competitiveness of its information industry. This growth demands sincere and focused efforts on the software industry. The government, related institutes, education institutions, and private industries will continue to plan and work together to make Taiwan software industry world-class in size and technology
