In April 2000, the International Conference on the History of Computing hosted a special conference on the history of software. The goal was to set an agenda for future scholarship in the history of information processing. The conference was held at the largest history of computing museum in the world, the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum in Paderborn, Germany. This paper was one of the five papers commissioned for the conference. It has since been published in in Mapping the History of Computing: Software Issues, U. Hashagen, R. Keil-Slawik, A. Norberg, eds. (New York: Springer-Verlag, 2002).
