I managed to get a machine readable version of the programme for the
Ada in Europe Symposium, which takes place at the end of the month in
Copenhagen, Denmark.

It seems this information is not (yet) available widely, so I'm posting
a cleaned-up version here.  This programme is also available via WWW:

        Tutorial on Monday 26 September 1994, from 9:30 to 12:30

    Joint Application Development (JAD) Using Object-Oriented Models
                                   by
                    John A. ANDERSON (SYNETICS, USA)
             Tel: + 1 703 848 25 50 - Fax: +1 703 848 25 87

Object-oriented development methods have transformed many of the
activities of modern software engineering.  Object-oriented methods are
more expressive and comprehensive than earlier approaches.  Joint
Application Development (JAD) is an innovative technique for structuring
the interaction among users, customers, analysts and developers.  JAD
streamlines the requirements elicitation process and improves
communication between contractors and customers.  JAD offers proven
tools and techniques that can produce responsive systems in up to 40%
less time.

Originally, the JAD approach was applied in information systems
applications.  The incorporation of object-oriented modeling techniques
have resulted in a powerful combination of communication and technical
precision that is effective in embedded systems applications as well.
While JAD provides the structure for the relationship between contractor
and developer, object-oriented analysis provides more effective models
of the problem domain that stimulate discussion and help remove common
ambiguities.

This tutorial introduces the concepts of object-oriented analysis and
discusses how various traditional analysis techniques (e.g., data flow
diagrams, state transition diagrams, and entity relationship diagrams)
can be applied to establish a more comprehensive model of the problem
domain.  The JAD concept and process are described in detail
illustrating how and where object-oriented models can be applied.
Industry examples illustrate the power of object-oriented analysis
methods and how the JAD process was used to resolve issues during
development.  This tutorial will clarify technical and management
expectations, as well as identify resources for further investigation.
The presentation is aimed at developers and managers in industry.

        Tutorial on Monday 26 September 1994, from 9:30 to 12:30

                   Meeting Hard Deadlines with Ada 9X
                                   by
                   Svend BODILSEN (DDC-I A/S, Denmark)
               Tel: +45 45 87 11 44 - Fax: +45 45 87 22 17

After establishing a common frame work for the discussions the tutorial
will introduce the most important scheduling theories and their
analytical characteristics and limitations, in particular the
description of sporadic tasks and transient overload.  Furthermore, the
implication on system development, and possible Ada 9X implementations
will be discussed.

The following scheduling theories will be discussed:

Cyclic executives
Rate monotonic scheduling
Deadline monotonic scheduling
Priority inheritance protocol
Priority ceiling protocol
Immediate priority ceiling protocols

This in principle discusses the Annex H: Real-Time Systems of the
Annotated Ada 9X Reference Manual.

The above mentioned scheduling theories are valid for mono-processors.
The discussion will be extended to cover multi-processors systems as
well.

During the discussion it will be evident that some support tools are
required to obtain the basic timing figures required by the theories in
order to determine the schedulability of a given Ada program.

The following support tools will be needed to determine the
schedulability of an Ada 9X partition:

Basic block timing determination
User guided schedulability analysis tools

           HOOD and Object Oriented Programming, a case study
                                   by

               Tel: +33 98 05 44 27 - Fax: =33 98 49 45 33

PRESENTATION

This tutorial gives practical advises for the integration of object
oriented analysis and programming techniques within the HOOD framework.
An approach is defined that aims at using several methods (e.g.  OMT
models for analysis, for design, HOOD, STDs) and defining their
co-operation with HOOD in the life-cycle by developers with different
OOP backgrounds and experience.  It has been applied for demonstration
and validation on a several studies implemented in C++ and possibly in
Ada 9X.

The tutorial will first recall OOP and HOOD concepts, and illustrate
HOOD Abstract Data Type (HADT) object extensions and their
implementation in the TNI STOOD toolset.  In a second time, a case study
(the FQS) will be intensively studied and demonstrated.  Finally a
conclusion will be given on how applying the suggested approach in the
context of large projects and development standards.

The FQS (Fifo Queuing System) case study is a toy system running under
X_WINDOW system that has a control window taking USER commands to create
and destroy producers and consumers.  A window is also to each producer
and consumer in the system for input and output of text messages.
Producers and consumers communicate through a FIFO BUFFER.  A full HOOD
documentation of the FQS will be part of the proceedings.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This tutorial addresses design, management and programming issues and
should be attended by senior software designers, project managers,
software designers and programmers familiar with HOOD, Ada or C.  Some
knowledge on object oriented concepts (class, inheritance and
polymorphism) is however highly recommended in order to favour the
assimilation of the concepts in the short time allocated (3 to 4
hours?).

Abstract
Ada 9X--the revised definition of the Ada programming language--
provides support for object-oriented programming.  This course provides
a comprehensive view of object-oriented programming with Ada; it is
divided in three parts.  First, it examines the new, object-oriented
features of the language, their use, and how they fit into Ada's strong
type system and genericity mechanisms.  Basic object-oriented mechanisms
are covered, such as: type extension, inheritance, and polymorphism.  We
then show how to integrate these mechanisms into good programming
practices; topics include incremental programming, heterogeneous data
structures, mixing inheritance, and design for reuse.  Finally, we
compare standard object-oriented idioms in Ada with those of major
object-oriented languages (e.g.  C++, Eiffel).

Background assumed by the tutorial
We assume limited acquaintance with object-oriented concepts, and a
general familiarity with a Pascal-like programming language.  However,
no specific Ada experience is required.

This tutorial has, in past years, been taught to a world-wide attendance
from industry and academia.

Intended audience
This tutorial is intended for anyone who wants to learn object-oriented
programming with Ada 9X.  The tutorial may also be of interest to
programmers familiar with other object-oriented languages, and who want
to widen their perspective of object-oriented technology.

        Tutorial on Monday 26 September 1994, from 14:30 to 17:30

                 Ada: The "Other" Open Systems Language
                                   by
                David EMERY (The MITRE Corporation, USA)
               Tel: +1 617 271 2815 - Fax: +1 617 271 4686


Open Systems developers usually look to C as the programming language
for their applications.  This is due to the wide availability of C
language bindings for open systems components such as POSIX and X
Windows, and also because of C's portability.  Ada provides an
alternative to C for developing applications in an Open Systems
Environment.  This tutorial presents Ada as a viable language for
implementing Open Systems based applications.  The Open Systems models
from the POSIX Open Systems Guide (POSIX.0) and the NIST APP will be
discussed.  For each Open System standards, the state of Ada bindings
for the standard will be discussed.  The tutorial will also present The
MITRE Corporation experiences developing Open Systems Applications in
Ada, and survey some current DoD projects using Ada to develop Open
Systems.

Learning Objectives (at the end of the tutorial, the attendee should be
able to):

1. Understand the following terms: open system, formal standard, public
   standard, interface, binding, reference model, profile.

2. Provide a simple reference model for an open system.

3. Know the current status of common formal and de-facto standards
   currently used in profiles. Know the state of Ada bindings for these
   standards.

4. Provide a profile based on a reference model that selects
   appropriate standards and bindings. Identify where the selected
   standards overlap, and resolve overlaps. Identify shortcomings in
   the profile, and discuss ways to fill these gaps.

5. Understand the issues in measuring conformance to a profile.  Know
   the difference between implementation conformance and application
   conformance.

               Tel: +1 703 591 5247 - Fax: +1 703 591 5005


This course first compares overviews of the proposed new standard,
MIL-STD-498, and the current standard DOD-STD-2167A.  It follows by
reviewing the system engineering requirements in the two standards, then
it examines software process and software design requirements in both
standards in detail.

The course concludes with a review of other functional areas in both
standards and Ada-community reactions to the new standard.

OBJECTIVES

Present major similarities and differences between MIL-STD-498 and
DOD-STD-2167A.
Train managers and engineers to document MIL-STD-498's software units
differently from 2167A's CSCs and CSUs.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Engineers and managers already familiar with DOD-STD-2167A who wish to
review the new contracting requirements that they may face if
MIL-STD-498 supersedes it.

        Tutorial on Friday 30 September 1994, from 9:30 to 12:30

      Process Management Concepts and the Capability Maturity Model
                           (CMM) for Software
                                   by

                     bamberg@sequent.com (internet)

Abstract:

This hands-on, interactive workshop introduces the process management
concepts on which the CMM is based, discusses the benefits of process
management, and presents the five-level maturity model.  The concepts
behind key portions of the Repeatable and Defined Levels are used in the
several exercises throughout this workshop.  At the end of this
workshop, attendees will be able to discuss and demonstrate basic
process management concepts, describe the five levels of process
maturity, describe the characteristics of a Repeatable Level
organization, and compare their project/organization to Repeatable Level
characteristics.

This workshop provides an introduction to the Capability Maturity Model,
which is being used internationally as one mechanism to select
contractors and subcontractors for producing software on government and
commercial contracts.  The relationship between the CMM and ISO 9000 is
discussed based on attendee questions.  The applicability of the
Capability Maturity Model to overall software process improvement
programs is also demonstrated.

Intended Audience:

Software engineering practitioners, managers, educators; government and
industry.  Geared to those who want to learn one (of many) ways to view
software engineering process and quality issues and some strategies for
implementing process and quality programs in their current position.
This work is based on the real-world application of tools created by the
Software Engineering Institute in government and commercial software
development organizations.

         Components of an Effective Process Improvement Program

           Judy Bamberger (Sequent Computer Systems Inc, USA)

Abstract

Process improvement is messy; it takes time; it takes patience; it takes
creativity and perseverance.  And guess what - there is no one right
way!  This workshop introduces several skills and concepts that have
proven effective, and provides time for individuals and teams to discuss
and practice them.  A case study is woven through the workshop, so the
attendees can practice as they learn.

This workshop provides an introduction or a refresher to leadership and
team skills, as well as sponsorship building and managing technological
change.  These skills, strategies, techniques and tools are applicable
to software process improvement efforts modeled after the Capability
Maturity Model or ISO 9000, or improvement programs, or any other focus
or framework.  In other words, this workshop is not focused on "here is
how you get to Maturity Level X" - we have found that such cookbook
formulae invariably fail.  Instead, this workshop focuses on basic
skills that can be adapted and tailored to each organization, group,
team, and applied across the board.

Intended Audience:

Software engineering practitioners, managers, educators; government and
industry.  Geared to those who are leading or who are (or will be)
involved in process improvement activities.  This work is based on an
extended bibliography of tried-and-true techniques and models across
industry in general.
