Abstract:
     The  history  and  status  of the two DoD teams - the KAPSE Interface Team
(KIT) and the KAPSE Interface Team from Industry and Academia (KITIA) - will be
presented. Their charter is to define a set of interfaces which can be used  as
a  DoD standard for achieving the ability to share tools and data bases between
conforming APSEs.
Biography:

     Mrs. Oberndorf was born in the fine northern town of  Minneapolis  in  ...
(as you might guess - I hate biographies!) But, seriously ...

     B.S. in Math/Computer Science from Oregon State University

     M.S. in Computer Science from UCSD

     Started working for the Naval Electronics Laboratory Center (now the Naval
Ocean Systems Center) in 1974.

     Started  working  environment/tool  projects  in 1975. Participated in the
reviews that lead  to  the  selection  of  the  AIE  contract  winner  and  was
subsequently  chosen  by  the  AJPO to head the KIT effort, starting in January
1982.
Note:

     Election of officers this meeting.  Nominees are Hal  Hart  (Vice  Chair),
Cheryl  Chapman  (Treasure),  Carol  LeDoux (Secretary), Mike Hogan (Industrial
Representative Committee Chairman). Additional nominations from the  floor  (or
any one standing on it) will be accepted at the meeting.
Future AdaTEC Events:

July 14:        John   Forman   (Texas   Instruments),  "The  APSE  Interactive
                Monitor", TRW E2/Presentation Room, 6:30pm.

y  fashion.   The project did successfully produce an initial PA-APSE that
served as a test bed for a  new  prototype  support  tool,  an  automated  Unit
Development  Folder (UDF) capability.  Partial development of the automated UDF
prototype revealed new issues to be faced in the  evolution  of  mature  APSEs,
thus  confirming  the  potential value of such a PA-APSE test bed.  The project
also analyzed other issues to be faced in the evolution of mature APSEs;  these
issues  clustered  in  several principal areas:  (1) man-machine interfaces and
the Tool Extension Paradigm, (2) methodologies  and  environment  capabilities,
(3)  software  structure,  system conventions and virtual KAPSE interfaces, and
(4) master (project) database issues.  This presentation discusses the  results
of the feasibility analysis.

     Judy   Bamberger   is  currently  a  member  of  the  PA-APSE  design  and
implementation team.   Previous  assignments  at  TRW  have  included  Software
Engineering  and  Technical  Assistance  on the MX JOVIAL (J73) compilers.  She
holds a Master's in Education (Junior High School), which has provided  insight
into  how  to  teach  concepts  germane  to all programming languages (notably,
JOVIAL (J73) and Ada), and is currently working on  her  Master's  in  Computer
Science  at  UCLA.    She  is the chairperson of the Education Committee of the
Ada-JOVIAL Users Group; she presents J73 tutorials at  national  meetings;  and
she will be delighted to present Ada tutorials to interested groups.
