Grady Booch will discuss the benefits of such an approach and the features of Ada that encourage and enforce such a methodology. In particular, Grady plans on addressing the issues of object-oriented design in the presence of massive software systems, and in the presence of resuable software components. Grady Booch is currently employed by Rational, Inc. He has been a consultant to several major corporations and Department of Defense organizations on transition to the effective use of Ada. He has been actively involved in Ada research and education since 1979, and, in particular, has developed a model Ada course for the Ada Joint Program Office. This course has been taught to well over 5000 people across the country and in Europe. Grady has been a member of the review teams of several Ada compiler and programming environment projects and has worked on the development of an object oriented programming methodology for use with Ada. He has lectured at several national ACM, NCC, IEEE, and AIAA conferences and has published over 30 technical articles on the topics of Ada, software design methodologies, and graphics. In addition, Grady has written the text, Software Engineering with Ada, published by Benjamin/ Cummings. He is also author of the column, "Dear Ada", which appears regularly in Ada Letters. Previously, Grady was a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science at the United States Air Force Academy. Before leaving the Air Force in 1982, he was a project director and project engineer for several real-time software developments for space and missile systems. He received his B.B. in computer science from the United States Air Force Academy in 1977, and his M.S.E.E. from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1979. Note: 1. LA SIGAda will be taking Grady Booch to dinner after the meeting, if you are interested in joining us call Ed Colbert, 535-7050 (we may need to make reservations if we have a large group). 2.
