The COE specifies that interchangeable software components be used for building interoperable, mission-specific applications. The latest release draws in Hewlett-Packard Co.'s NetMatrix and OpenView network management products for HP-UX and SunSoft Solaris platforms, as well as Netscape SuiteSpot and an upgrade from Microsoft Office 4.1 to Office 97. Version 3.3 is schedule for an April release.

It is available at: http://sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/AdaIC/compilers/val-proc/val5_0fin.shtml The ACVPs define the certification body for the Ada programming language and set forth its rules of procedure for testing implementations of the Ada language for conformity to the language standard. This testing process is known as validation. Version 5.0 of the Procedures is a revision to Version 4.2 to reflect two important changes in Ada Validation: the end of the period of transition in validation from the use of the original language standard to the revised standard; and the transferral of validation authority for the Ada language from the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) to the United States Department of Defense (DoD).
