The most recent effort was supported by the Defense Information Systems Agency's Ada Joint Program Office (AJPO), in which educators were awarded contracts for developing Ada 95 Courseware. Two such courseware offerings, developed by Dr. Bo Sanden of George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, are as follows: 1. "A Course in Real-time Software Design Based on Ada 95" The course starts with an overview of the Ada 95 syntax for tasks and protected units. The rest of the material shows how to design concurrent software. The emphasis is on practical, real-time applications. The examples go far beyond those textbook examples commonly used to illustrate syntactical features and issues such as mutual exclusion and deadlock.

"An Ada-based foundation course for a graduate information-systems program" This course is intended as a foundation course in programming for students entering a graduate Information-Systems program. It is primarily intended for students with little or no programming experience, particularly in a Pascal-style language. In this course, Ada replaces Pascal as a more modern and also more practically useful language.

Details can be found on the CSEET web site at: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/conferences/CSEET98/cseet.htm SOURCE: Bob Waters: mailto:watersr@cc.gatech.edu ********************************************************** NEW DOCUMENT ON THE DII COE WEB SITE Topic: DII, COE New to the CFCSE-IC DII COE Web site is the "I&RTS Review and Assessment - 11/4/97". This document assesses the current I&RTS specification as to its completeness, mission-effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and the probability of success from an internal DoD and external commercial acceptance perspective.
