Here at AGCS we have a small group that is investigating object orientation
for the purpose of generating an OOD methodology for large, real-time
critical, fault tolerant systems.   We have no in-house experience with OO.
Our plan is to research different author's methods and opinions, group 
like methods, and divide into 3 sub-teams to test the methods on a case
study.  (We are now at this point in the plan.)  We will then examine the 
advantages and disadvantages of each sub-group's methods and attempt to 
create a method that will work for us.

Some of the authors we have researched are :
Paul Ward, Brad Cox, Norm Kerth, Andy Rudmik, Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson,
Bertrand Meyer, Shlaer and Mellor, and, of course, Ed Berard.

We are considering bringing someone in to spend a day or two talking to
us about OO.  We are looking for someone with experience with large ...
(see above) systems.  A good communicator who has taught a class before
would be good, but experience is the key.  Obviously we already know the
basics and are looking for detailed information.  If anyone could suggest
someone who would ge good for this purpose (or if you think you would be
good for this) please let me know.

Please E-mail to the address below.  The route that our postnews supplies
will not work.  If you think your suggestions are of general interest then
by all means post instead.  Some discussion of whether or not our plan is
likely to produce a workable methodology would also be welcome.

Thank you for your attention.
