Subject: September Meeting Announcement
The September Meeting of DCSIGAda will be held on WEDNESDAY, September 16.
Details are as follows:
Refreshments: 7:00 pm
Meeting: 7:30 pm
Location: McLean Hilton
7920 Jones Branch Road
Topic: Ada 9X and OOP
Speaker: Brad Balfour
A discussion on how Object Oriented Programming issues are addressed in Ada 9X
Ada 9X is the ongoing effort to revise the Ada language. Currently,
the Ada 9X program is now in the revision phase, having completed the mapping
of requirements to language solutions. Of the three major additional features
being added to Ada (OOP, Hierarchical program libraries, Protected types)
certainly OOP is one of the most requested.
This talk will describe how OOP is being implemented in Ada 9X. Specific new
Ada 9X terminology will be introduced and related to basic OOP concepts. Small
examples will be used to illustrate the concepts. One complete example using
Ada 9X OOP will be presented.
The emphasis in the talk will be on the way OOP concepts are treated in Ada
9X. Basic familiarity with OOP concepts is assumed, however, no familiarity
with Ada 9X or its specific features is assumed. This talk is an abbreviated
version of a half-day tutorial by Mark Gerhard and Brad Balfour which was
originally presented at Ada Europe '92. Due to the limited timeframe, not
all of the topics originally addressed in the tutorial will be addressed in
this talk.
Brad Balfour is a systems consultant with SofTech, Inc. in Alexandria. He is
currently working in support of DISA/CIM's DoD Software Reuse Initative. On
that project, he is working on a variety of technical and non-technical reuse
issues including legal and acquisition issues and training. Previously he was
heavily involved in both training and consulting in the areas of Object
Oriented Development, Ada, Reuse and Testing. Brad was one of the three
authors of the GRACE components, a library of 275 reusable Ada components.
Currently he is the vice-chair of DC SIGAda and will be the program chair for
WAdaS '92.
