ACVC Reviewers. The Institute for Defense Analyses is
seeking world class Ada experts to assist in performing a
new function that IDA has been tasked to perform by the
Ada Joint Program Office. This function involves
independent technical review of Ada Compiler Validation
Capability (ACVC) proposed test objectives and tests as
they are being developed by the ACVC contractor. The
goal of this review is to enhance the overall quality of
the ACVC test suite to better serve the needs of the Ada
community. A small number of qualified experts
will be offered an individual consulting agreement with IDA on
the order of two person months per year, renewable yearly
for approximately a five year period. Minimal travel is
envisioned (two trips per year). Access to a widely
acceptable electronic mail source is essential.
Sources will be screened against the following criteria:
(a) extensive demonstratable knowledge of Ada from either
a language interpreter, application user, or compiler
implementer perspective; (b) demonstrated knowledge of
the state-of-the-practice in Ada usage; (c) demonstrated
knowledge of the ACVC test suite and/or process. This
synopsis is not to be construed as obligating IDA or the
Government. Interested sources should submit a resume
highlighting their Ada backgrounds, plus a short essay on
current strengths and weaknesses of the ACVC process (not
to exceed 750 words) to Audrey Hook, IDA, 1801 N.
Beauregard Street, Alexandria, VA 22311. Telephone (703)
845-6639. Responses must be received by 1 May 1991.
