[WarpCast] OS/2 and Prolog help Computing Devices Canada win - 12/19/98 |
Y2000 Pro : The solution for the Year 2000 problem in PC BIOSes. Works with OS/2, Linux and other 32-bit Operating Systems. http://www.blueskyinnovations.com/y2k.html ****************************** WarpCast ****************************** Source: Gregory Bourassa (bourassa@magma.ca) Moderator: Dirk Terrell (admin@os2ss.com) ********************************************************************** Computing Devices Canada (CDC), Nepean, Ontario, a General Dynamics Company, has been certified to Software Engineering Institute (SEI) capability and maturity model (CMM) level 3, by a team of independent auditors. This is a significant achievement for the company and provides assurance to its customers that software engineering is being carried out at CDC in an organised, well-defined, repeatable and well-understood fashion. A major ingredient in the achievement of this success has been an Intranet-Web-based document tailoring utility (DTU), written in Visual Prolog and running on an OS/2 Domino Go Web Server. The utility provides CDC's software engineers with instant access to the company's process documents and policies, and allows them to tailor and generate MIL-STD 498 style documents in a small fraction of the time previously required. It allows them to see examples of existing document sections as well as generic document text for each section. Users can edit the content of the sections, plus "tailor" sections in or out, all while on-line. Once satisfied, they can generate the complete document with keywords customised to their current project. The CGI programs that drive the server side of the DTU are written in Visual Prolog for OS/2 which provides the development productivity and run-time performance the project demanded. The Domino Go Web Server on OS/2 easily handles the processing load of the DTU, dispatching the CGI processes rapidly enough to allow rapid interactive expansion and collapsing of document sections by end-users. This activity is a key indicator of response, since it can only be fully handled on the server side (the state of the expanded or collapsed view persists between user sessions).
