About the Ada Awareness Initiative

Since 1994 SIGAda has conducted an "Ada Awareness Initiative" whose centerpiece has been our professional booth display unit in exhibition halls at various major U.S. software conferences, both inside and outside the DoD arena. Via this exhibiting, SIGAda sustains Ada visibility ("name recognition"), provides various Ada-advocacy materials such as dozens of "Ada Success Stories" and the Walnut Creek ASE CDROM, and makes available Ada experts (our booth staff volunteers) who can intelligently answer questions, provide pointers and help, and debunk the mis-information about Ada that many attendees at these shows have.

Some websites of interest involve those showing usage of Ada in academia, industry, and the world governments:
