Mathematical software in the network environment
Resource sharing via computer networks is recognized as a possible method for dramatically reducing future software development costs by eliminating duplication of effort and by focusing scarce and geographically scattered expertise on areas of greatest need. Mathematical software provides a good test of this possibility, since its methodology is better developed than, for instance, that of systems software. The object of this report is to stimulate consideration of existing related experience and plans, and thus to gain insight necessary to define better the mathematical software network experiments. Attributes of mathematical software are outlined, and the role of networks in the development of algorithms and the utilization of mathematical software is examined. The problem of program portability is discussed at some length. (RWR)
