The acronym for Component Object Model A standard by which applications can expose objects to the system for use by other applications and, conversely, by which applications can use objects that have been exposed by other applications
Component Object Model (COM) is Microsoft's object-oriented programming model that defines how objects interact within a single application or between applications In COM, client software accesses an object through a pointer to an interface (a related set of funcations called methods) on objects Both OLE and ActiveX are based on COM IBM's verion of COM is called SOM
