Ada: Managing the Transition (The Ada Companion Series)

This book comprises the proceedings of the international conference organised by Ada-Europe in conjunction with the Commission of the European Communities and SIGAda, and held in Edinburgh in May 1986. The development and implementation of the Ada programming language has stimulated progress in every branch of software engineering. As more and more organisations are changing to Ada as their main language, it is timely to look at the problems associated with such a change, so as to manage the transition more smoothly, Accordingly, in 1986 the conference took as its theme 'Ada - Managing the Transition'. The proceedings are arranged in seven parts, covering all aspects of the transition to Ada. Beginning with management and technical issues, the discussions move on to reuseability, experience in application and education, and conclude by examining selected formal and design methods. This book provides a comprehensive guide to all who are contemplating or engaged in changing to Ada as their main programming language.Wallis, P.
