Requirements for Software Deployment Languages and Schema

Software distribution via networks provides timeliness and continual evolution that is not possible with physical media distribution methods. Organizations such as Microsoft, Marimba, and the Desktop Management Task Force are strengthening their efforts to package software systems in ways that are conducive to network distribution. The result of these efforts has led to the creation of software description languages and schema, but they do not address deployment issues in a complete, systematic fashion. The contribution of this paper is to define and explore the requirements for software deployment languages and schema.
