Invitation to the seminar   "Ada or C++

Why, When, Where and How?"
_____________________________________________

at Lecture Hall 1, Garnisonen, KarlavINgen 100, Stockholm

Ada is too expensive!
C++ isn't safe!
Ada is difficult to learn!
C++ is difficult to read!
Object orientation - The Emperor's New Clothes?
Object orientation - C++ is required!

Yes, it may sound as different as that!  What are the rational reasons
for choosing Ada or C++?

The seminar "Ada or C++, Why, When, Where and How?"  will give you a
unique possibility to meet international and Swedish specialists from
the Ada and the C++ communities. Seven Swedish and Norvegian Ada or
C++ users will tell you why they chose Ada or C++, respectively, for
their project.

Finally, there is a panel discussion, where all the speakers will take
part and where also - as usual at our seminars - many seminar
participants are active. Come and tell us about your experiences!

"Let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not
understand one another's speech"(Genesis 11:7)

Conference fee: 2.100:-SEK. Swedish university teachers and students in
the computer area may pay only 200:-

Presentation of the speakers:

Edmond Schonberg, Professor of Computer Science, New York University,
has been involved with the design and implementation of Ada since
1980. He is one of the designers of Ada/Ed, the first full Ada
translator to be validated. Ada/Ed, which is an executable definition
of the language, is currently used to prototype the main features of
Ada9X, and in particular those that support object-oriented
programming. Edmond Schonberg has taught C++ and his group is
transcribing some component libraries from C++ to Ada9X in order to
test the capabilities of Ada9X.

Dag Bruck, Lund University of Technology, has used C++ since 1986, now
as a C++ specialist in prototyping CAD tools for control systems. Dag
BrHOck is a member of the ANSI and ISO C++ standardization committees.

Bjorn Kallberg, PhD, NobelTech Systems AB, has been working with Ada
in  system architecture, compiler evaluation, education and as
technical project leader. He is also a Swedish delegate in the ISO Ada
Working Group.

Lennart Mansson, Telia Research AB, has been working with methods and
education in Ada since 1980. He is in the ISO Ada WG and in SIS/ITS WG
for Programming Languages. He is also an Ada9X Distinguished Reviewer.

Mats Andersson, SATT Control AB, has been working with process control
systems since 1979, and with Ada since 1986. He is responsible for the
development of a large warehouse control system.

Stefan Frennemo, ABB Automation, has used Ada between 1986-1989. He
started to use C++ in 1989. He is now the technical leader of the
project "Software Development Environment on Workstations".

Petter Moe, TeleServe A/S, is currently Senior Engineer, working on QA
and Ada Usage. He has just submitted his doctoral thesis on an
integrated debugging and monitoring environment for multicomputers.

Stefan Wallin, Erisoft AB,has been working with C++ for 3 years. He is
now the technical manager for an Operation and Maintenance System.

Stein Aamot, Knutsen A/S, has been working since 1988 with programming
and testing communication protocols and applications (X.400), mainly
in Ada. He is now working with X.400 applications, UA-API and X.500
and also QA.

Ann Dahlen, Ericsson Telecom AB, Technical Product Manager for
development of Operation and Support products in the Mobile Telecom
product area.

Ulf Olsson, NobelTech Systems AB, has been involved in the design of
the NobelTech Ship System 2000 program: one of the few very large
naval Ada projects. His interests are mainly in the field of system
architecture.

Bengt Lennartsson, PhD, LinkCCping University, is associate professor
in Software Engineering at the Department of Computer and Information
Science. His current research interest is case studies in Industrial
Software Technology.
