+    <p>A common interoperability situation is when there exists a piece of code solving some complex problem, and we would like to incorporate this piece of code in our Erlang program. Suppose for example we have the following C functions that we would like to be able to call from Erlang.</p>
+    <codeinclude file="complex.c" tag="" type="none"></codeinclude>
+    <p>(For the sake of keeping the example as simple as possible, the functions are not very complicated in this case).</p>
+    <p>Preferably we would like to able to call <c>foo</c> and <c>bar</c> without having to bother about them actually being C functions.</p>
+    <pre>
+% Erlang code
+...
+Res = complex:foo(X),
+...</pre>
+    <p>The communication with C is hidden in the implementation of <c>complex.erl</c>. In the following chapters it is shown how this module can be implemented using the different interoperability mechanisms.</p>
