- First, the 2nd request - project management tools:
- STSC, Software Technology Support Center, at Hill AFB in Ogden, Utah,
- has an oustanding report on this subject. Their Project Management
- Tools Report is 200 pages, lists 150 tools, includes 1-page reports on
- 100 tools, and critiques 40. It also includes 25 pages of domain
- tutorial and analysis. (I had no idea it was such a rich domain.)
- The reports don't have an "Ada" field and, during a quick scan, I didn't
- notice any mention of Ada. STSC has produced several good reports,
- including a couple with some Ada emphasis. They also write an excellent
- monthly journal, "Crosstalk."
-
- STSC reports can be requested from:
- Software Technology Support Center
- Attn: Customer Service
- OO-ALC/TISE
- Hill AFB, UT 84056
-
- STSC also has a bulletin board: 801-777-7553
-
- 2nd, the SEI wrote a report, "Ada Adoption Handbook: A Program Manager's
- Guide," in 1987. Report numbers are CMU/SEI-87-TR-9 and ESD-TR-87-110.
- I think SEI has passed the responsibility of distributing its reports on
- to DTIC & NTIS, so you might have to contact those agencies to get the
- report.
