ABSTRACT
The process of creating an international standard for the Modula-2 programming language is now well underway. This paper (an updated and expanded version of [12]) describes current standardization efforts and sketches a number of changes being planned for the language.

Standardized extensions to Modula-2
This article will describe a number of extensions to the programming language Modula-2 that are in the process of being standardized by ISO. Modula-2 has been extended by facilities for generic and object oriented programming and by a set of rules to ...
The growing international influence on Fortran standardization
Fortran was the first programming language to be standardized. That standardization effort was initiated and completed within the United States, resulting in the 1966 standard. Today, standards in the field of information technology are truly ...
