A new DoD document, released for comment on a short schedule, covers use
of Ada -- with DoD-STD-2167 (SDS), and provides Ada programming guidelines
(really in the form of "coding standards").  I presume it will be in the
interests of many readers to participate in a review of this.

The Electronic Industries Association (EIA G-34) has released for comments
the 6-Sep-85 Draft of DoD-HDBK-287 (Superseding DoD-HDBK-281), titled
"Defense System Software Development Handbook".  Comments are due in
no later than 15 Oct 85, in order to meet a deadline of 18 Oct 85 imposed
by the JLC/CSM (the deadline is under protest and may be extended).

This handbook "provides guidance to Development Agency and Software
Support Agency personnel charged with planning, establishing, and
managing Software Development Programs for any phase of the System
Development cycle.  It is designed to supplement the DoD Joint
Regulation on Management of Computer Resources in Defense Systems and
to provide specific guidelines for applying DoD-STD-2167 (SDS) to
software acquisition, development or support projects.  Specific
topics covered are as follows:

   - Acquisition, development, and support of systems and software
   - the four steps of the tailoring approach
   - procedural guidelines for contract commencement and administration
   - topics of concern for the software acquisition manager (incl. Ada)
   - defense system software development
   - how to tailor DIDs to a software acquisition
   - Examples of DID selection
   - ADA PROGRAMMING GUIDELINES    <==== NEEDS YOUR CAREFUL REVIEW!!!

If you'd like to know who in your company might have received this
document, or if you would like a copy of the Ada-relevant sections
to review, time is short to get started.  (The Ada section is reasonably
compact, and shouldn't take too long to study.)

You can contact me or the CODSIA coordinator as you wish:
