Trends in software technology

Software has made more progress during the last few years than any years before that. New technology is coming every day and it is impossible for every one to catch up with it. Two technologies and their impacts on software development are presented: software reusability, which can significantly improve software productivity; and Internet computing, which provides a new testbed for software applications as well as their development. Software reusability and Internet computing change the way software will be developed. We discuss some of their impacts.
