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.
Allan

I response to allan's request.
one such project I was involved in was stanfins-r,
a 1million + line application in ada, using a
commercial relational database (on ibm mainframes); the
application was for typical inventory control/accounts
processing on army posts.
the project used rational's development environment for ada work;
we also worked with them to use my oo method.
the project delivered on time, and in budget. based upon the
suggess of the project, at least one other service
cancelled a similar project for its mis needs, and decided to reuse
the stanfins products.
there are some papers by the developer (csc) that I could probably dig
up, if I don't get overwhelmed with requests for it.
