  abstract =     "This paper describes an experimental course on the
                 topic of software portability, and initial experience
                 in teaching this course. With the continuing
                 proliferation of both applications and computing
                 environments, the need for portability is being
                 increasingly recognized. A large proportion of the
                 software now being developed will eventually need to be
                 ported to new environments. Yet this topic is missing
                 from most computer science and software engineering
                 curricula. The course described here was designed to
                 explore practical issues in the development of portable
                 software. Lectures and discussions on portability
                 topics are combined with the ongoing development of a
                 simple software project designed to expose a variety of
                 portability problems. During the course the project is
                 ported to several environments and redesigned to
                 improve its portability. This course has been taught
                 experimentally with encouraging results. Student
                 assignments have used novel and effective methods to
                 overcome portability barriers. Feedback from student
                 indicates that they have become more aware of
                 portability issues to be considered in software
                 development, and have gained experience with system
                 interface issues in several programming environments.",
