Links are provided under each of the Ada subject areas for the AdaIC's most popular pages and files. The AdaIC maintains databases that track Ada education and training, products and tools, projects, compilers, publications, and other Internet resources. In order to more easily access the wealth of information in these databases, users may now execute both keyword searches and search on particular fields. Many titles, organizations, and tools are contained within scrollable lists for browsing, and search results contain links to the actual search item when available. In order to speed up the load time of the AdaIC Web pages, the graphics on the main and sub pages were reduced in size. Thus, the graphics can still serve as visual navigational clues, without impeding access to the actual information. The AdaIC WWW pages can be viewed at: .

The goal of the RSC is to build upon the efforts of the Reuse Interoperability Group (RIG) by expanding the development of reuse standards. The RIG group laid a good foundation regarding reuse library standards. The RSC will continue the work of the RIG in the development of standards for reuse library interfaces. All work currently in progress will be continued. In addition to the work of the RIG, the RSC will broaden its scope to all reuse related standard activities within the IEEE. Some recommendations for standardization include: * Standard describing "Fundamental Principles of Software Reuse" * Standard describing "Domain Analysis" * Reuse Supplement to the 12207 life cycle standard * Reuse Supplement to the SPICE standard Furthermore, the RSC will initiate and coordinate other reuse-related efforts as appropriate and coordinate with other US and International Standards Organization.

Topics and areas of interest include (but are not limited to): Ada development in Windows 95 and Windows NT Ada in industrial applications worldwide Interfacing Ada to C, C++ and other languages Distributed Processing using Annex E Teaching Real-Time System Development using OOP and Ada Teaching Reuse with Ada Computer-aided Software Engineering for Ada Early projects using Ada Transitioning to Ada Development of an Ada Curriculum Training the Next Generation Trainer Object-Oriented Analysis, Design and Programming Early use of Software Development environments and tool for Ada Ada Training in Industry and DoD Using Formal Methods with OOP and Ada Ada in Distributed Systems. Testing and V&V of OOP in Ada Future projects that will use Ada Authors are invited to prepare an extended abstract (2-4 pages) and submit two copies of the abstract to Dave Cook by 15 March 1997. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by 30 March 1997 with full papers in electronic form postscript and paper camera ready form due by 15 May 1997. Proceedings will be published and distributed at the symposium and electronically. Papers must be original and of high quality. All submitted abstracts will be anonymously refereed for their significance, clarity and originality. Submission of an abstract is considered evidence that the author has obtained clearance from his organization for publication, that the author (if selected) will prepare a full paper and present it at the symposium, and that the paper will not be presented at any other prior symposium.
