International conference on the history of computing, ICHC 2000, Germany
This book reviews the present understanding of the history of software and establishes an agenda for further research. By exploring this current understanding, the authors identify the fundamental elements of software. The problems and questions addressed in the book range from purely technical to societal issues. Thus, the articles presented offer a fresh view of this history with new categories and interrelated themes, comparing and contrasting software with artifacts in other disciplines, so as to ascertain in what ways software is similar to and different from other technologies.This volume is based on the international conference Mapping the History of Computing: Software Issues, held in April 2000 at the Heinz Nixdorf Museums Forum in Padersorn, Germany.
