RIAT SPONSORS SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURES WORKSHOP
Topic: Reuse
The Reuse Issues Action Team (RIAT) of the ACM SIGAda Reuse Working Group
is sponsoring the workshop Software Architectures in Product Line
Acquisitions: Engineering or Witchcraft? The workshop will be held in
Salem, MA, June 10-12, 1997. The workshop will examine how a software
architecture can reduce costs and shorten delivery times, and will focus
on business issues and approaches for using architectures in product line
acquisitions.
The workshop is intended for professionals in government and industry
pioneering the use of software architectures in product line acquisitions.

ADA 95 AND CORBA: PERFECT TOGETHER
Topic: Ada
Ed Seidewitz, in his article "Ada 95, CORBA, and More!" found in the
March 1997 issue of Distributed Object Computing, discusses the many
advantages of using CORBA with Ada 95: the only O-O language that has
both an approved mapping to CORBA and an international standard.
Seidewitz declares that Ada 95's features help to shatter past stereotypes
of the language, and prove that Ada 95 is a player from CORBA to DSA to
Java.
