- I really like the ISA/ANSA work, but our ties with that organization
- are less active lately. I tend to see ToolTalk and NewWave as the
- commercial realizations of ANSA (aka OMG) and we have been thinking
- about how to integrate ISIS better into this type of OO environment.
-
- We have a paper, with Olof Hagsand (olof@sics.se) and Holger Herzog
- (Siemens) on issues raised by this problem. The result of this study
- was a prototype OO presentation of ISIS for C++ users, and also a lot
- of insight into the role that lightweight groups will play in future
- versions of ISIS. Brad Glade is now working on this problem at the
- level of operating systems interfaces; the plan is to then work up to
- higher level interfaces and finally focus on integration with the OO
- environments sometime next year.
-
- Brad -- could you say something about lightweight groups? People probably
- won't know what this is about...
