<tool> A program to allow a file to be read (or played) but
not changed. Viewers are often freely distributable, even
when the editor application is not. This allows you to create
files with the editor and make the viewer available to other
users to view your files, e.g. on a website. Examples
include the Word and Adobe Acrobat viewers.

ViewPoints definition
<programming> A framework for distributed and concurrent
software engineering which provides an alternative approach to
traditional centralised software development environments.
Decentralised process models are used to drive consistency
checking and conflict resolution. The process models use
pattern matching on local development histories to determine
the particular state of the development process, and employ
rules to trigger situation-dependent assistance to the user.
Communication between such process models facilitates the
decentralised management of explicitly defined consistency
constraints.
