ABSTRACT:
Steve Blake will make a presentation titled "Analysis of
Mission-Critical Systems Using ASIS."  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.
