ASIS Working Group Meeting March 6-8, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

ASIS Working Group Meeting March 6-8, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

[Dan Rittersdorf]

The following announcement is adapted from a mailing sent to the ASISWG
mailing list by Currie Colket, ASISWG Chair:

The next meeting of the ASIS Working Group is scheduled from 6-8 March
1995 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  It will be hosted by Harris Computer
Systems Corporation. 

Our goals for this meeting will be to =>

        1.  Finalize the approach for ASIS 95
        2.  Address the outstanding ASIS 83 Deferred Issues
        3.  Finalize the KINDS for ASIS 95
        4.  Plan for ASIS Special Ada Letters Issue

These support the near-term goals of an implementable, viable interface of ASIS 
for Ada 95 compilers/environments and the longer-term goal of an ISO ASIS 95 
standard. We need your input to insure the ASIS 95 interface adequately supports
your requirements to maximize its value to your organization.

In addition, there have been several good ideas circulated on the net which I 
would like to address. These include:

        1.  Implementation of ASIS on GNAT
        2.  Dan Ehrenfried's issue of unification between element nodes and 
            compilation unit nodes (ASISWG email 1/1/95)
        3.  Dan Ehrenfried's issue of hierarchy versus flattening of nodes
            (ASISWG email 1/1/95)
        4.  Approach for standardization: stand alone standard versus a new 
            annex to Ada95
        5.  Conformance Suite for ASIS 95

A formal agenda will be circulated prior to the meeting.  If you would like
to see additional items on the agenda, please send email to the ASISWG
officers at =>

contact.  Please contact him and let him know you are coming. His coordinates

As a note - The ASISWG meeting was originally scheduled for 6-7 February in 
order to minimize travel for several members who were going to Florida the 
previous week to support a different meeting. When that meeting was changed to a
different week and the Ada Dual-Use Workshop was scheduled for 6-8 February, the
ASISWG officers thought it would be wise to move the meeting to March.
