Currently a hot topic, software platforms have always been a battlefield 
for the software industry. Since the Internet revolutionized software 
development, three platforms have been competing for the lead field once 
dominated by Visual Basic's Windows Programming:
   - LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL/Mozilla, PHP,perl,python)
   - J2EE (Both Apache and vendor based)
   - .NET (Both the Microsoft proposal and mono with GTK+ bindings)
We will discuss what a software platform is, its main agents and 
constituents, and the life cycle of platforms, with special emphasis in 
network based applications and mobility platforms.
