[net.lang.ada] IDL users

dalamb@qucis.UUCP (David Lamb) (02/19/85)

IDL (Interface Description Language) is a notation for describing
abstract data structures.  It was used to define Diana, an intermediate
representation of Ada programs.  IDL was the subject of my Ph.D.
dissertation, and is a part of my ongoing research efforts.  I am
interested in hearing from anyone who has used IDL.  I would like to
share experiences with defining data structures in IDL, or with building
tools to process IDL descriptions.  I am also interested in
discovering areas where current IDL is weak.

I can be reached via USENET mail via
	...{decwrl,allegra}!utcsri!qucis!dalamb
or via BITNET as dalamb@qucis.bitnet
ARPAnet users can reach me via dalamb%qucis.bitnet@WISCVM.ARPA

I would appreciate it if anyone responding to this note would let me
know their netmail address if they have one, and Postal Service address
as well.
