I have a requirement for a project to summarize "reuse success stories" involving Ada. If any of you know of any source for this type of information, I would appreciate it. I already have access to the places such as SIMTEL20, AJPO, and AdaNet. Thanks in advance for the help. ============================================================================== Glen Plantz Computer Sciences Corporation 4045 Hancock Street email - plantz@nosc.mil San Diego, CA 92110 phone - (619)225-2538 ==============================================================================

The May/June 1991 issue of Ada Letters (ACM SIGAda)has an interesting list of reusable software products, including component software and reuse information. Some of the items are public-domain, some are commercially available (i.e., not free!) In addition, the April 1991 issue of Software Engineering Notes (ACM SIGSoft) has two good articles entitled "Toward a Design Apprentice: supporting reuse and evolution in SW design" and "Model-based SW reuse terminology." Another interesting article (I'd have to dig through my "archives") mentions the possibility of a "new specialty" in the computer science field: that of "computer archeologist."
