Subject: Do you do ASIS?

Date: 2000-03-03T00:00:00+00:00 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <89ot3v$og9$1@nnrp1.deja.com> (raw)
I've spent the last year and a half involved in the ASIS world with
several clients:
writing applications, porting applications, working with ACT/GNAT
and OCS to wring out/roll out/etc. their versions of ASIS 2.0,
summarizing my lessons learned in a couple of ASIS-related papers, etc.
Frankly speaking, it wasn't until a few years ago that I really
knew what ASIS was all about. I am trying to assess, as a supplier
of ASIS tools/expertise/etc and a general ASIS enthusiast, and
determine the scope of the ASIS market.
I have touched base with several of the vendors and there are
varying degrees of interest and disinterest in pursuing any hard
marketing of ASIS
to their customers, for varying reasons.
On one hand, maybe I should simply trust the vendors. They should
know their customers best.
Or ... as with the two clients for which I have done ASIS work,
.... there is such a paucity of "ASIS talent" out there that most
clients have given up on utilizing ASIS
Or ... the compiler vendor for a given customer is just not doing
anything with ASIS
(and if the users knew that other vendors WERE supplying ASIS ..
they might give that vendor a look see ...)
Or ..... there is not a market, or they have all the tools that
they need or are choosing not to port them to Ada95.
Or ASIS is a solution chasing a problem, and the number of ASIS
tools that can be written is a bounded set and supplying ASIS
to customers really doesn't do the customers much good.
Or ... something else ...
Any thoughts?
Thanx
