Abstract
Increasing costs in software development and maintenance call for portability of user programs. Difficulties arise from the great diversity of input and display devices. Investigations of basic principles of computer graphics lead to the proposal of standards in Europe and USA in order to achieve device independence, a presupposition for program portability. Implementations of these standards should take advantage of pseudocode and decentralization. Providing peripheral devices with local memory and local processing power improves system performance. By use of pseudocode the definition of device independent interfaces between the host computer and peripheral units becomes feasible.
