Ada 9X and HOOD

Ada 9X and HOOD

[Joe Wood]

HI,

I'm currently using HOOD (release 3.1) as the basis of a tool I am
developing for analysing software architecture.

Since Ada 83 is NOT strictly object-oriented, and Ada 9X attempts to
address some of these shortcomings, I was wondering if HOOD was going
to be updated to include the new features?

Thanks in advance

A new release of the HOOD Reference Manual (version 4.0) is currently under
approval within the HOOD User Group. HOOD 4.0 captures the Ada 9X language
concepts in a similar manner as HOOD 3.x captured the Ada 83 language concepts. The final version of HOOD 4.0 is foreseen to be released in Q1 1995.

Several vendors provide tool support for HOOD. Two of them, Sema Group
(Concerto/HOOD) and Techniques Nouvelles d'Informatique (STOOD), have planned
support for HOOD 4.0 in the near future.

The secretary of the HOOD User Group (Jean-Francois Muller) can be contacted at

You just missed the HOOD User Group AGM!

The HOOD User Group has been working on HOOD V4, which should support Ada 95, 
and C++ as target languages. The HOOD User Group should be voting on the 
adoption of HOOD 4 this year - we hope to do it at the Ada in Europe 
Conference in October. In the meantime HUG members can already get a draft 
refence manual for version 4, and we would welcome your comments.

If you want more details please mail me as

If you want to join the HUG email

Cheers
