Ada Structure Graphs

Ada Structure Graphs

[Keith Miller]

Is anyone still using ASGs in a big way on projects and what tools support it 
other than teamwork?

What chance (and what interest) is there in an updated notation for Ada95? Maybe 
some of the OO CASE tools are more appropriate for the updated language.

Any thoughts?

We still use them on F-22 (with Teamwork) to support ADARTS. I think there are other 
tools that also support ASGs (ObjectMaker, maybe?).

Cadre is apparently trolling for Ada 95 interest. Here's a copy of a FAX form I
received from them:

Hmm. I got the same mailing.

I particularly liked the following line -

That's a completely different tone from the rest of the form :-)

We use ASGs on a DOD project called Sustaining Base Information Systems.
It is roughly about 20 Apps with 200KSLOC. The CASE tool we use is CADRE
Teamwork.
