The information focuses on client tools and how they use ASIS. The Ada Semantic Interface Specification (ASIS) is an interface between an Ada environment (as defined by ISO/IEC 8652:1995) and any tool or application requiring information from it. An Ada environment includes valuable semantic and syntactic information. ASIS is an open and published callable interface that gives CASE tool and application developers access to this information. ASIS has been designed to be independent of underlying Ada environment implementations, thus supporting portability of software engineering tools while relieving tool developers from needing to understand the complexities of an Ada environment's proprietary internal representation. In short, ASIS can provide the foundation for your code analysis activities. Keywords: ASIS, Ada Semantic Interface Specification, Portability, Tools Speaker Brief Biography: Steve Blake is the Co-Technical Editor and Vice Chairman of the ASISWG and has been involved in ASIS since its inception. Steve is a principal Ada consultant with Aonix where he has served in a variety of software engineering capacities for the past 12 years. ---------------------------------------------------------- Please RSVP Robert C.
