| Abstract: | The Internet is undergoing a tremendous change towards the globalized computing environment. Due to the open, dynamic and
uncontrollable natures of the Internet, software running in the Internet computing environment has some new features, which
bring challenges to current software technologies in terms of software model, software operating platform, software engineering
approaches and software quality. Researchers in China have proposed the term “Internetware” to present the emerging software
paradigm. Sponsored by the National Basic Research 973 Program, several research practices have been done on the Internetware
in the past decade. This paper summarizes the progress and status of the Internetware researches. A technical solution framework
for the Internetware paradigm is proposed from four aspects: the Internetware software model defines what the Internetware is to be; the Internetware middleware determines how to run the Internetware applications; the engineering methodology determines how to develop the Internetware applications; the Internetware quality assurance determines how well the Internetware applications can perform. The paper also discusses the ongoing research issues and future trends of Internetware. |
