This book explains the basics of the Ada computer programming language and assumes that the reader has had some exposure to some other algorithmic programming language (such as Pascal, C, C++, Fortran, or BASIC). "Ada 95: The Lovelace Tutorial" (ISBN 0-387-948-01-5), is written by David A. Wheeler, and is published by Springer-Verlag . For more information, contact David A. Wheeler at: . SOURCE: David A. Wheeler. ************************************************ ICSR5 CALL FOR PAPERS Topic: Reuse The Fifth International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR5), to be held June 2-5, 1998 in Victoria, BC, Canada, has announced a call for papers. The conference theme, "Putting the Pieces Together," addresses the traditional question of how to create, index, retrieve, evaluate, interconnect, integrate, and test reusable components for all aspects of the software lifecycle. For a list of suggested topics and further instructions, visit the ICSR5 WWW site at: . Submissions are due Oct. 1, 1997, acceptances will be announced Jan. 23, 1998, and camera-ready copies will be due Feb. 20, 1998. Submissions should be sent to: Jeffrey S.

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.

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.
