Pictorial Representation Techniques in Ada

Pictorial Representation Techniques in Ada

[Stephen M. Robinson]

Two other Georgia Tech grad students (Paul Miller and Perry Green) and I are
interested in critiquing (as a programming languages design graduate class
project) Grady Booch's pictorial system description techniques for Ada as
described in

   G. Booch, "Describing Software Design with Ada", SIGPLAN Notices, Sept 81,

   G. Booch, _Software Engineering with Ada_, and

   R.J.A. Buhr, _System Design with Ada_.

We have some questions for interested parties:

* Has this system been implemented and if so where?  (We've heard of CAEDE
  but have no references).

* Has anyone used this system (manually or otherwise) for "real" (that is
  *large*) projects?  How about for "small" pilot projects or subsets of
  larger ones?  What is your reaction?  What features are/are not adequate
  for your use, especially for large projects?

* Has Booch, Buhr or anyone else published further specifications for
  this system?

Responses to these and any other questions you care to answer would be
appreciated.  Since this may not be of interest to most lang.ada readers
please respond directly to me via e-mail.  I will summarize and post
responses if volume and content merit.

Thanks
