As part of a study tasked by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, I am
compiling a short bibliography relating, in part, to the following topics:

	- Actual reuse of Ada components
	- Ada/SQL Bindings experience
	- Ada software maintenance experience
	- Benefits of using Ada in system design and implementation
	  (not including software maintenance aspects.  This addresses
	   Ada being a portion of a software engineering methodology, and
	   the proposal that making use of Ada makes it somewhat more
	   difficult to write 'bad' code).

While the study is predominantly focused on management information systems,
I am not limiting my search to only that application.  I am looking for
references on the above topics suitable for inclusion in a reference material
compilation for higher level managers, and am primarily interested in
published accounts.  I would also welcome any previously unpublished summaries
of people's experience on the above issues.

Although not a part of the study, there has been some discussion on the net
of late of similar benefits for the use of C++.  I would also be interested
in collecting a similar reference list with respect to the use of C++.

If there is interest, I will post the bibliographic listing to the net.

Thanks for your assistance.
