"A specific software implementation technology and/or specific hardware that constitutes the execution environment of a system." (Anneke Kleppe et al, "MDA Explained: The Model Driven Architecture™: Practice and Promise", 2003)
"In the automotive industry, a platform describes a technical basis on which to build models that appear outwardly different. In electronic development, a platform is understood as a hardware, software, or system construction kit that allows the easy creation of derivates via modification, parameterization, or derivation. All essential features, however, are preserved." (Lars Dittmann et al, "Automotive SPICE in Practice", 2008)
"The underlying foundations, technology frameworks, base architectures, and interfaces upon which products are built." (Steven Haines, "The Product Manager's Desk Reference", 2008)
"A combination of technology infrastructure products and components on which various application programs can be designed to run." (David Lyle & John G Schmidt, "Lean Integration", 2010)
"A type of computer hardware that is compatible with certain operating systems." (Faithe Wempen, "Computing Fundamentals: Introduction to Computers", 2015)
"A product, technology, or system that provides a foundation for a number of complementary products (or applications). In business, platforms that form an interface between two‐sided markets (comprising application suppliers and final users) occupy an especially important role in several technology‐based sectors." (Robert M Grant, "Contemporary Strategy Analysis" 10th Ed., 2018)
