- -- Abstract : The Graphic Ada Designer is a specialized tool
- ----------------: for creating graphical Object Oriented Design
- ----------------: Diagrams (OODDs) for Ada programs and the Program
- ----------------: Design Language (PDL) representations associated
- ----------------: with each OODD. The Graphic Ada Designer is
- ----------------: principally targeted towards the interactive
- ----------------: development of these block-like diagrams in
- ----------------: support of the development of Ada software.
- ----------------: In particular it is designed to support a variant
- ----------------: of the Ada Graphic Notation developed by SYSCON
- ----------------: from the Object Oriented Design work of Grady Booch
- ----------------: and a presentation on graphical techniques for
- ----------------: analysis given by Dr. R. Buhr of Carleton University
- ----------------: (see "Software Engineering with Ada" by Grady Booch,
- ----------------: and "System Design with Ada" by R.J.A. Buhr).
- ----------------:
- ----------------: The Graphic Ada Designer requires a bit-mapped
- ----------------: graphics terminal supporting at least a minimal
- ----------------: display list capability. The implementation
- ----------------: will use GKS interfaces when possible.
- ----------------: Significant emphasis will be placed on the
- ----------------: transportability of the applications software,
- ----------------: with execution efficiency being a secondary
- ----------------: consideration (i.e., when due to its device and
- ----------------: system dependent nature).
- ----------------:
- ----------------: This tool was developed as a precuresor for
- ----------------: the WMCCS Information System (WIS). An
- ----------------: executable version of the tool has been
- ----------------: demonstrated.
