AAS, was it Ada?

Sam:

ALmost a complete waste, probably some of it salvaged.

Scenario generation on that AAS thing would have been a
difficult job at best, so the appearance of the same
"aircraft" is probably not surprising. The display guy
probably was a sales or marketing type, no clue as to
what goes into such a thing, so your question was out
of his league.

AAS was Ada, lots o lines of it.

The "problem" was bigger than any software could hope
to be. The "problem" was problems, vast and huge.
More than likely in the bean counting area, as opposed
to the SLOC counting area.

Cleanroom design? Only the shadow knows...

The requirements for the system were no doubt a moving
target. What big real time system DOESN'T have that problem?

Ada suffered a black eye on that one for sure. A very
unfair black eye.
