Abstract

The Babel project [321] was an ambitious effort to develop a languageindependent object model that would allow scientific software libraries written in several languages to be utilized from any of the languages, much as Corba [326] was for business software. However, because of its extremely ambitious nature, the tools (Java) selected to develop the model, and insufficent funding for the large amount of development needed, the software could not fully serve application and library needs.
