Abstract :
Computers have moved to desktops; now, the underlying software is itself evolving. The direction computing will take is clear, but the route it will take is a matter for some speculation. We examine several promising software ideas, especially distributed software and its underlying infrastructure called middleware. Industrial software is being driven by document-centric design, reusable component implementation based on industry standards, and end-user programming
