Developing software for large-scale reuse (panel)

This panel succeeded in both its goals. The first of these was, of course, to have a useful discussion about developing software for large-scale reuse. The second goal was to try to encourage greater communication between the Ada community and the object-oriented programming community. Two of the panelists (Brad Balfour and David Wade) were drawn from the Ada community, while the other two (Sam Adams and Brad Cox) were drawn from the object-oriented programming community. Further, the panel had been previously held in June at the Washington Ada Symposium. All the panelists agreed that this approach had been very useful, both for them personally and for the communities in general, and they hoped for further interaction in the future.
