        ACVC  Reviewers.  The Institute for Defense  Analyses  is 
        seeking world class Ada experts to assist in performing a 
        new  function that IDA has been tasked to perform by  the 
        Ada   Joint  Program  Office.   This  function   involves 
        independent  technical review of Ada Compiler  Validation 
        Capability  (ACVC) proposed test objectives and tests  as 
        they  are  being developed by the ACVC  contractor.   The 
        goal of this review is to enhance the overall quality  of 
        the ACVC test suite to better serve the needs of the  Ada 
        community.   A small number of qualified  experts 
        will be offered an individual consulting agreement with IDA on 
        the order of two person months per year, renewable yearly 
        for approximately a five year period.  Minimal travel  is 
        envisioned  (two  trips per year).  Access  to  a  widely 
        acceptable electronic mail source is essential.  
        
        Sources will be screened against the following  criteria: 
        (a) extensive demonstratable knowledge of Ada from either 
        a   language interpreter, application  user, or compiler 
        implementer  perspective; (b) demonstrated  knowledge  of 
        the state-of-the-practice in Ada usage; (c)  demonstrated 
        knowledge  of the ACVC test suite and/or  process.   This 
        synopsis is not to be construed as obligating IDA or  the 
        Government.   Interested sources should submit  a  resume 
        highlighting their Ada backgrounds, plus a short essay on 
        current strengths and weaknesses of the ACVC process (not 
        to  exceed  750  words)  to Audrey  Hook,  IDA,  1801  N. 
        Beauregard Street, Alexandria, VA 22311.  Telephone (703) 
        845-6639.  Responses must be received by 1 May 1991.
