Hi, Everyone,

There have also been some minor improvements to the ASIS writeup.
Here it is as it will appear on the upcoming Ada CDROM.

5. Abstract:
The PAL tree for ASIS (ada/docs/asis) --
  This contains the ASIS Working Draft Standard, as submitted for ballot
in September 1997.

The Ada Semantic Interface Specification (ASIS) is an interface
between an Ada environment as defined by ISO/IEC 8652 (the Ada95
Reference Manual) and any tool or application requiring information
from this environment. An Ada environment includes valuable semantic
and syntactic information useful for assessing software quality.

ASIS is particularily useful for code analysis of mission-critical and
safety-critical applications during both initial code development and
later during Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V).

Examples of tools that benefit from the ASIS interface include:

  automated code monitors, browsers, call tree tools, code reformators,
  coding standards compliance tools, correctness verifiers, debuggers,
  dependency tree analysis tools, design tools, document generators,
  metrics tools, quality assessment tools, reverse engineering tools,
  re-engineering tools, style checkers, test tools, timing estimators,
  and translators.

In fact most of these tools have already been developed using the ASIS
interfaces by people in Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, France,
Germany, Japan, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and
the United States.
