Cohen's website http://domino.research.ibm.com/comm/research_people.nsf/pages/ncohen.index.html does not mention any recent activity in the area writing a 3rd edition to incorporate Ada05. Have any of you heard from Cohen any interest in doing so? Do you think there is enough of an interest to make it a financially viable option that we could possibly champion? I would hate to see Cohen's excellent book not be picked up by new Ada programmers just because the book is "out of date".
