Communications Research & Development List-Id: [posted on behalf of allan.cobb@ccs.yorku.ca] From: Allan.Cobb@CCS.YorkU.CA Date: Fri, 10 May 91 13:35:00 EDT My university, York University in Toronto, Canada, is considering the use of Ada for a large database management application, specifically a student information system. I would greatly appreciate any descriptions (even if brief) of large software development projects of "mission critical" systems, which have used Ada. I am interested in why Ada was chosen for the project and whether the programmming language and related design methodolgies proven successful. For this purpose, I am interested in all types of applications, whether or not they have been undertaken in a university environment. Please send me any such descriptions by email (allan.cobb@ccs.yorku.ca); I shall be happy to post a summary.
