analysisoftraini00shka.pdf (4.242Mb)Abstract
The Department of Defense has been continually plagued
with problems in software development in terms of cost,
reliability and performance. To combat these problems,
Congress enacted Public Law 101-511, requiring that after June
1, 1991, all Department of Defense software be written in the
programming language Ada. However, for this transition to be
effective, training of personnel must be accomplished. This
thesis addresses issues involved in training of personnel in
the Department of the Navy in Ada, the philosophy of training,
the number of personnel to be trained and the potential costs
involved.
