Although computer technology standards have been under development for over two decades, all too often the results of these activities were overlooked or underutilized. Now users are faced with differing proprietary products that inhibit transfer of information. Meanwhile, the U.S. computer industry is facing increased international competition, coupled with the threat of a variety of restrictive national standards. As a result, the demand for communications and software standards has surged - not only from users, but from vendors as well. Fortunately, a number of needed standards are flowing out of national and international standards organizations to meet the demand. This paper will consider emerging software standards and efforts to speed their development and use. |
