Subject: Structured Analysis/ Structured Design and OOD and Ada and Ada/PDL I am researching the methodology path that starts with structured analysis/structured design ala Yourdon and then flows into OOD and Ada/PDL and then Ada as the programming language. There is interest in this because it seems that SA/SD has been nicely packaged and merchandised by e.g.:Yourdon and there is some tool support e.g.: Tektronix on Vax. System's engineers seem to like the SA/SD because they deal in the functional spec world with the customer. i.e.: The teachings of the 1970's seem to be reduced to practice and we need to adapt the Ada methodologies to it for now. I am aware of the Lockheed/Austin work on this subject, also Kirkham et al of univ of Bradford and Privitera of Ford Aero. I am requesting vectors to any other related work. I will collate and post all replies in about 2 weeks. Thanks in advance for any contributions. p.s. also vectors to supporting tools. regards, sam harbaugh --------------------- ------
