**************************************************************
Ada 95 PRODUCTS TO BE DEVELOPED THROUGH ATIP-P PROGRAM
**************************************************************
Ten private sector companies have been awarded contracts
through the Ada Technology Insertion Program-Partnership
(ATIP-P). Spearheaded by the Department of Energy's Idaho
National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), ATIP-P is part of a
broad effort mounted by the Defense Information Systems
Agency's Ada Joint Program Office (AJPO) to stimulate
utilization of Ada 95 within the government, academic,
industrial, and research communities.
Awarding of the contracts completes the AJPO's competitive
initiative to partner with proposing organizations to
equally share (50/50) in the funding and commercialization
of Ada 95 products. Products developed through the
partnerships will increase the availability of Ada 95 tools
and plug many technology gaps to successfully implement Ada
95. Products are expected to be available in 1996.
The 10 private sector companies and the areas their tools
will address are:
* Ada Software, Inc., Laurel, MD -- Provide Internet
accessible Ada 95 training.
* DDC-I Inc., Phoenix, AZ -- Provide Ada 95 software
test tools based on the established ASIS 95 standard.
* Intermetrics, Inc., Cambridge, MA -- Enter Ada 95 into
the expanding needs of the World Wide Web and "Applet"
generation by providing an Ada 95 to Java J-code
compiler.
* McKee Consulting, Littleton, CO -- Provide an Ada 95
development environment for the Apple Macintosh.
* NOETIC Software, Inc., Willow Grove, PA -- Provide
bindings to the standard data interface bus MIL-STD-1553B
and the designated commercial standard.
* Objective Interface Systems, Inc., Reston, VA --
Distributed processing and client/server interfaces using
the CORBA standard.
* OC Systems, Inc., Fairfax, VA -- Provide a visual
programming environment and object libraries.
* Software, Inc., Madison, WI -- Provide object-oriented
bindings to the Win 32 development environment.
* Stony Brook Software, Thousand Oaks, CA -- Provide a
Fast/Optimized Compiler and GUI development environment.
* WPL Laboratories, Inc., Haverford, PA -- position Ada 95
to share in the rapid World Wide Web growth with Web-
based Ada components.
Further information regarding the ATIP-P program can be
obtained from the INEL program manager, Doug Colonel, at
208/526-0204, fax: 208/562-8086, or e-mail: col@inel.gov.
The AdaIC will provide additional information on the details

Ada 95 AND RATIONAL: WORKING TOGETHER IN SAFETY-CRITICAL/
MISSION-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS
****************************************************************
Rational Software Corporation is heightening awareness of
Ada's important role in safety-critical applications as
businesses have begun self-imposing tougher internal
standards for testing and documenting software. Rational's
article, "Look to Rational for Safety-Critical/Mission-
Critical Application Development Tools", discusses the
number of standards that have emerged to help improve the
quality of applications and to shorten the development
cycles that produce them.
Rational offers Ada and its own line of Ada products as a
means of cutting down on the expense and time needed to
develop safety-critical applications. Because Ada is,
"rigorously defined, formally standardized, and designed for
the creation of reliable systems", it can only aid
businesses in their development of safety-critical
applications.
Rational now offers VADS-sc, a line of Ada products
specially configured for the development of safety-critical
applications to the toughest level of criticality specified
by DO-178B level A (standard enforced by the FAA). Other
elements of Rational's Ada toolset that can be used to
improve the quality and reduce the risk of software
development efforts include: Rational Rose/Ada, Rational
Apex, TestMate and SoDA.
