Ada 9X Project Report: Ada 9X Revision Issues. Release 2

The Ada 9X Project requirements development process is analogous to the open process by which requirements were developed for the design of the Ada language. That is, a small team of Ada practitioners (i.e. the Requirements Team) is responsible for analyzing revision requests and other input, and for formulating requirements for the revision of the Ada language while obtaining feedback from the Ada community. The requirements development process began in October 1988, with the solicitation of requests from the Ada Community by the Ada Joint Program Office sponsored Ada 9X Project, and will end in December 1990, with the publication of the Ada 9X Requirements Document. Since the inception of the requirements process, the Requirements Team has had the benefit of comments on interim documents from the Distinguished Reviewer Group, workshops, and public forums. This document is an interim product of the requirements development process. Since the Requirements Team was established in October 1989, the Team has reviewed all the revision requests collected from the Ada community and developed revision issues for most topics which are of concern to the Ada community, as evidenced by the revision requests and workshop input received. The content of this document is intended to provide status information to participants of the Ada community at large.
