The Commercial Ada Task Group was set up in the UK December 1990 under the
auspices of Ada UK organisation to encourage and promote the principles of
good software engineering practice and the use of the Ada programming
language across all levels and types of industry, particularly outside
of defence, by: promotions at exhibitions; input into identified supporting
initiiatives; the development and sponsorship of technology-based seminars
to targeted industries and companies.

The CATG's founder members are: SD-Scicon; Alsys; DDC International;
York Software Engineering; Centre for Advanced Software Design; NA Software.

The CATG works under the banner "Project ABACUS" (Ada Business Association
Campaign for Use of Software engineering). The response to Project ABACUS
has so far been excellent.

I am currently coordinating the development of the Project ABACUS seminar
series. The final session of each seminar will be used to present short
case studies/overviews of successful applications of Ada. I am looking for
factual details of (large) projects on which Ada has been used successfully,
specifically in non-defence areas. Details, pointers to literature, contacts
etc would all be most welcome.

Please respond by e-mail or fax. I am quite willing to post summarised
information back to the net at a later date. 

Thank you in anticipation.

New CATG members are always welcome - contact me by fax for details.
