An Evaluation of the Needs and Requirements for the Establishment of an Ada Liaison Organization (Draft ALO Strawman)

Abstract: This report examines the needs of the Ada Joint Program Office (AJPO) in the establishment of some advisory organization for the "sustenance" of the language following the acceptance of Ada as a National Standard and during the early stages of implementation, expansion of applicability, and development of supporting systems. It is proposed that in view of the number of overlapping needs of various responsibilities that such an organization be formed as a single unit so as to maintain coordination, but with distinct sub-entities interacting with the differing internal and external agencies which have cognizance of scope of the Ada activity. The ultimate responsibility for the continued support and development of Ada remains with the AJPO, the Ada advisory group merely providing recommendations for the administration of the MIL standard, the ANSI standard, and other related specifications.

Foggy Bottom Transit Authority: a Model Rapid Transportation System with Ada 95 Software Control

Abstract: Foggy Bottom Transit Authority (FoBTA) is a computer-controlled HO-scale model of an urban rapid transportation system based loosely on Metrorail, the rapid rail network of Washington, D.C. and its suburbs in Maryland and Virginia. FoBTA models a part of the Metrorail system using off-the-shelf HO model railroad equipment and some additional electronic parts, along with a computer running the GNU Ada 95 compiler (GNAT) under the Linux operating system. This project was inspired by the successful work of John McCormick and his students [McCormick 92]. Our work differs mainly in that we are modeling a rapid transit system instead of a conventional freight railroad. Associated with the Metrorail model is a new upper-level real-time systems course.

Experiences Applying a Practical Architectural Method

Abstract: Software architecture has come to be recognized as a discipline distinct from software design. Over the past five years, we have been developing and testing a practical software architecture method at the MITRE Software Center. The method begins with an initial statement of system goals, the purchaser's vision for the system, and needs, an abstraction of the system's requirements. Multiple views of the system are then developed, to address specific architectural concerns. Each view is defined in terms of components, connections and constraints and validated against the needs. This paper briefly introduces the method and describes our experiences with its "alpha" and "beta" applications to two U.S. Army management information systems.

Ada Outperforms Assembly: A Case Study

Abstract: With the intent of getting an Ada waiver, a defense contractor wrote a portion of the software in Ada -- to prove that the language could not produce real-time code. The expectation was that the Ada code would be too large and too slow to be effective for a communications application. In testing his hypothesis, the opposite was found to be true. With only minor source code variations, one version of the compiled Ada code was much smaller than the corresponding Assembly code, but executed at approximately the same speed; a second version was approximately the same size, but executed much faster than the corresponding Assembly code.

Translating C++ Software into Ada 95

Abstract: Before 1995, a software developer had to choose between building software that was object oriented and software that had the reliability of Ada 83. By translating C++ into Ada 95, we can now achieve more reliable object-oriented software. This article describes a case study in which such a translation was performed manually. The various difficulties that were encountered are described, together with the solutions that were adopted. This article concludes with a justification for an automatic translator from C++ to Ada 95.

DVM: An Object-Oriented Framework for Building Large Distributed Ada

Abstract: This paper presents a description of a reusable framework for building large, distribute Ada applications. The framework, known as the Distributed Virtual Machine (DVM), provides a portable suite of integrated services for building a wide variety of distributed, fault tolerant applications. It serves as the foundation for a family of automated air traffic control systems currently under development by Hughes Aircraft Company. The DVM provides an "abstract instruction set" for developing distributed systems, allowing applications to be developed without concern for the actual physical distribution. This level of abstraction is essential for managing the complexity of the air traffic control systems, which are estimated to require the development of up to one million lines of Ada source code.

Global Positioning of Ada

Abstract: Given the fascination the media has had with the Internet (aka the Information Superhighway), one could easily overlook the success of yet another government technology transfer project. The Global Positioning System (GPS) has clearly made the leap from serving primarily as a military defense tool to a product with a vast amount of commercial potential. From uses in aviation to outdoor recreational activities, we have already seen surprising new markets opening up. If we look at the core of GPS technology, we find that Ada has played a significant role in its success. Although the DoD will not make available all of the details of the GPS architecture for security reasons, the commercial end-user applications have had a definite Ada flavor.

Object-Oriented Programming with Ada 9X

Abstract: Ada 9X, the revised definition of the Ada programming language, supports object-oriented programming. This paper examines the new, object-oriented features of the language, their use, and how they fit into Ada's strong type system and genericity mechanisms. Basic object-oriented mechanisms are covered, such as inheritance and polymorphism. The authors then show how to combine these mechanisms into valuable programming techniques; topics include programming by extension, heterogeneous data structures, and mixin inheritance.

Ada 95 Tips and Tidbits Number 2: Expressing Design Inheritance Relationships in Ada 95

Abstract: A column is aimed at the experienced Ada programmer and focuses on: Expressing Inheritance Based Design Relationships in Ada 95. Because Ada 95 separates the concepts of modularity (expressed in the language through the Ada program units such as packages) from the concept of inheritance (expressed through the used of derived tagged types), it is possible to model several different design uses of inheritance directly in the Ada programming language. As a specific example, we will consider the two typical uses for inheritance: the "is-a" relationship and the "is-implemented-using" relationship. Ada 95 allows these two uses of inheritance to be expressed differently, and therefore to be clearly understood.

Abstract: This column is aimed at the experienced Ada programmer and focuses on: Inheritance and Ada 83 Style Packaging. This column expands on the themes introduced in Tips and Tidbits #2 [Ada Letters XV(3), May/June 1995], by continuing to discuss variations on inheritance that are possible in Ada 95. In this column we'll look at the combination of derived types, packages, and hierarchies of both types and packages. Since Ada 95 clearly, and in my opinion correctly, separates the concepts of module and type, there are many issues to explore. And I'll attempt to demonstrate that rarest of occurrences -- where the combination of two features leads to simpler software.

Inheritance and Reusable Objects? Yeah, Right.

Abstract: This paper considers the demanding expectations many people have for reuse technology. The authors believe that the successes of reuse technology are not as immediate as commonly thought. They rate reuse success on the following three terms: speed, power, and agility. All three of these aspects are part of the Reuse Cycle, which also includes architecture, process and tools [and an] organizational model. With the Reuse Cycle in mind, the authors designed a project with the goal of maximizing reuse technology by considering software issues at all levels, not just selected levels. By doing so, they were able to isolate the unique application logic within a system and reuse up to 90 percent of code. They suggest that anyone considering reuse technologies study business processes that have similar characteristics within a software system. These similar processes turn into reusable code, while those with differences are designed to share in some of these now reusable characteristics, and then become reusable (the example given in this instance is changing the business process invoice to the business process consignment).

A Systematic Software Reuse Program Based on an Architecture-Centric Domain Analysis

Abstract: The authors discuss the ad-hoc use of legacy code, and they advocate a systematic approach to software reuse, as the best way to make large productivity gains. The authors cite the Army's CECOM Post Deployment Software Support as an example of this process. The first part of the document contains an overview, strategy, and implementation of the reuse program, and a more extensive discussion of ad-hoc and systematic approaches to reuse. The second part of the report describes the programs systematic approach, and its architecture-centric basis, along with the longer-term systematic reuse within SED. Basically, the goal of the project is to create an architectural concept that includes both processes and artifacts. The report is organized accordingly: reuse program overview; reuse program strategy; reuse program implementation; architecture-centric based reuse. The document also contains a reference list.

A Pattern for Reuse

Abstract: This authors of this article advise software engineers and programmers to keep reuse in mind early in the software lifecycle. They describe how they have designed a program providing a specific path from the earlier to later phases of the lifecycle. They focus on the framework of a system, in particular, and say that the success of reusability is diminished, due to the difficulty in finding individual reusable components for a specific need, especially in a large software repository. That is why the authors believe that a designer should be able to find out the architectural concepts that reusable components are based on. They suggest that the architectures of both the application and the framework should be similar and work well together, in order for reusability to be maximized. The authors created a generative pattern language that aids the user in making connections between the framework and its components. In the end, they advise that there be an attempt to organize reuse repositories around components that support specific sets of patterns which in turn describe specific architectures. They then go on to describe how architecture should be developed.

Abstract: This plan defines a reuse strategy which takes advantage of the payoffs of early work in systematic, domain-specific, architecture-centric software reuse. The Army believes that reuse is one of the keys which will allow it to cope with limited resource. We also recognize that reuse is still an evolving discipline. For these reasons, the Army Software Reuse Plan is a "living" document, which is based on the approved DoD Software Reuse Vision and Strategy (July 1992). This plan, when fully implemented, will put in place an organizational structure with policy and controls to provide management oversight of reuse (See Sec. l). It will establish a new reuse-based paradigm that will be used in transitioning existing software developments (where appropriate), and full support of future Army software developments. This reuse-based paradigm can be applied to all types of software-intensive systems. It will provide the direction that is needed to build the systems to support the functional needs of the Army, faster, cheaper and better.

STARS Reuse Maturity Model - Guidelines for Reuse Strategy Formulation

Abstract: This paper summarizes the STARS reuse concepts joint activity team's work to date on the concept of a reuse maturity model (RMM). It discusses the STARS approach, which is to evolve a RMM from the STARS Conceptual Framework for Reuse Processes (CFRP) in keeping with current notions of technology introduction and adoption. Further, the STARS notion of a RMM is as the basis for formulating an organization's short and long term strategies for improving their state of reuse practice with respect to a single domain.
