Conference announcements

"Automatic Analysis and Manipulation of Source code"

Description of the presentation:

1. Presentation of the RainCode technology: what it is, how it works, what it can be used for, etc.
   RainCode's three main products:
   • The RainCode Engine performs automatic user definable code analysis, inventory, and transformation of source code in Ada, APS, C & C++, COBOL, CSP, Delphi, Ideal, Informix 4GL, Java, Natural, and PL/1.
   • The RainCode Roadmap automatically generates complete technical documentation of Ada sources. It enables quick impact analysis and gives a number of quality metrics about the code. The programmer can navigate very easily through the code thanks to this tool.
   • The RainCode Checker verifies compliance to a number of pre-defined Ada standards.
2. We will show you how to code some sample programs of the RainCode Engine for Ada to find the global variables, for instance, or apply specific transformations in the code.
3. We will also show you how RainCode can be used to check for compliance to coding standards.

Speaker: Jean-Christophe Real, RainCode Product Line Manager.

Participation

Everyone interested is welcome at this meeting. As usual, the event is free.

If you plan to attend, we would appreciate it if you could inform us by e-mail. Although no formal registration is required, this helps our preparations.

As mentioned at earlier occasions, we have a limited stock of documentation sets and Ada related CD-ROMs that were distributed freely at previous events. Most important are copies of the latest "Ada and Software Engineering" double CD-ROM (ASE2), which was handed out at the Ada-Europe'2001 conference in Leuven and is also on-line in the Ada-Belgium archive at URL ftp://ftp.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/Ada-Belgium/cdrom/index.html. These sets will be available on a first-come first-serve basis at this event for current and new Ada-Belgium members. Please inform me via e-mail if you are interested in receiving the free documentation sets and/or CD-ROMs, so I can bring enough copies with me.

If you are interested to become a new member, please register by filling out the 2002 membership application form and by paying the appropriate fee. After payment you will receive a receipt from our treasurer and you are considered a member of the organization for the year 2002 with all member benefits. Early registration ensures you receive the full Ada-Belgium membership benefits (including the Ada-Europe indirect membership benefits package).

Directions

This event takes place at the premises of Offis nv/sa - Aubay Group, Gatti de Gamondstraat 145, B-1180 Brussels, Belgium. An access plan to the joint offices of Offis-Aubay and Aubay SI is available (in PDF format).
