The December meeting of DCSIGAda will be held on Wednesday, December, 16th

          NOTE THIS MEETING IS AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION!

Details are as follows:

Refreshments:  7:00 pm
Meeting:       7:30 pm

               10110 Aerospace Rd.
               Glenn Dale, Md

Topic:         A Reuse-Oriented Software Life Cycle

Speaker:       Rush Kester, Sr. Software Engineer
               Computer Sciences Corp.

Rush Kester has over 20 years of experience in software
development and management, primarily on NASA and DoD projects.
He has been involved in all phases of Ada projects from proposals
to maintenance and operations.  He is currently working for
Computer Sciences Corporation studying software development
processes at the NASA/Goddard Software Engineering Laboratory
(SEL). Rush has been an active member of DC SIGAda since its
inception and currently serves as its Chair.

Rush Kester's talk will describe a reuse-oriented life cycle that
has evolved at the SEL.  The SEL's development process has
evolved from achieving a baseline of 20-30 percent verbatim reuse
between successive projects, to routinely achieving 80-90 percent
verbatim reuse.  Not only has this approach yielded shorter
development cycles, it has resulted in more reliable systems.
Based on this model, he will emphasize techniques that any
development organization can use to facilitate software reuse.

Directions:

Take I-495/I-95 (Washington Beltway) to the Baltimore-Washington
Parkway (exit 22A) north toward Baltimore.  Exit the parkway
immediately at Greenbelt Rd (Rt 193).  Turn left on Greenbeld Rd
and go about 3 miles (or 1 mile past the Goddard Space Center
main gate).  Turn left on Aerospace Rd (just before Shell station
on left) and go 1/2 mile to Greentec II, the last building on the
left.  See the guard at the main entrance, (301) 794-4460.
