Users and providers of this software technology are invited to participate. The primary purposes of this workshop are: - For the user community to share experiences and lessons learned, and express their needs for tools, features and performance of Ada compilers. - For vendors, to better prioritize the user's needs, discuss the issues, and demonstrate the optimum use of their products. - For all, to better understand the difficult problems of implementing hard realtime applications using Ada in a severely constrained environment, to refine the existing Ada evaluation technology and to gather the lessons learned with 1750A. The target audience of this workshop is the technical personnel who are providing or using state of the art 1750A/Ada technology for demanding applications such as flight software. The first day is reserved for user's presentations. The second day is mainly devoted to technical advice and responses from vendors. Rooms will be available for private meetings. The workshop will feature short (20 minute) presentations discussing notably: - Compiler evaluation and selection (emphasizing application- specific benchmarks) - Ada runtime system tailoring vs separate executive use - Ada features and time/space tradeoffs (tasking, scheduling paradigms, memory management) - Ada design and coding styles for high performance applications - System engineering issues (shared/expanded memory, multi-CPU, etc.) including alternatives to 1750A (1750B, heterogeneous hardware) - Management experience (deemphasizing the application itself to show the universal value of the lessons learned) A written summary of the workshop, including a copy of all presentation materials, transcript of the discussions, bibliography, and list of points of contact, will be mailed to attendees within 60 days of the workshop. APPLICATION FOR JPL/SEI ADA-1750A WORKSHOP Attendance will be limited to 40. Applications must be received by Friday May 17, 1991. Notification of acceptance will be mailed by Friday, May 31, 1991.
