Convener's Report

Plenary Meeting of SC22

ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 held its plenary meeting in Saariselka, Finland, 26-30 August 2002. I submitted a report [N410] as Convener of WG9 and attended the meeting. My report of the results of the meeting is N411.

I entered the meeting with the following requests:

All of these requests were approved. In addition, SC22 took the following actions of relevance to WG9:

Category C Liaison with Ada-Europe and SIGAda

Both SC22 and JTC1 promptly approved our requests for Category C Liaison with Ada-Europe and SIGAda. ITTF immediately implemented the liaison and confirmed its existence with letters to Ada-Europe and SIGAda [ N414 ]. I am pleased to welcome representatives of the two organizations at this meeting. The agenda includes an item for liaison reports from each organization.

Increasing Participation in WG9

At the last meeting, the convener was instructed to invite Spain and Russia to begin participation in WG9. Upon investigation, the convener learned that Spain is not a member of SC22 (neither "P" nor "O"), hence is not permitted to participate. Russia is a "P" member. I sent a note to Sergey Rubin encouraging participation. He replied that he would attempt to increase his level of participation but that attendance at meetings was probably not practical for him.

Membership of Rapporteur Groups

I anticipate that the first benefit of the liaison relationship will be the ability to more effectively staff the membership of our Rapporteur Groups. For some time, our Rapporteurs have permitted informal participation by individuals who have not been formally authorized by their National Bodies -- a practice that goes beyond the procedures of JTC1. Implementation of the liaisons with Ada-Europe and SIGAda permit us to rationalize the participation in our Rapporteur Groups, enabling us to conduct them in accordance with JTC1 Directives while retaining diverse technical participation.

I plan to take the following administrative steps:

A portion of the agenda has been set aside as a "Committee of the Whole" to perform the necessary consultation. The Committee of the Whole will formulate the wording of the resolution appointing the membership of each RG. Resuming the meeting of WG9, we will consider the resolution.

Free Availability of TR 15942

As you know, one year ago, WG9 requested free availability of Technical Report 15942. This request has not yet been implemented because of an unfortunate sequence of events. If the matter had gone according to plan, the request would have been approved at the plenary meeting of SC22 in September, then approved at the plenary meeting of JTC1 in November. Because of the events of September 11, the SC22 plenary was poorly attended, falling short of a quorum. It was agreed that any contested issue would be subjected to confirmation by letter ballot. Free availability for the Technical Report brought objection from one National Body -- on the principle of free availability rather than anything specific to the request. The request was approved by a subsequent letter ballot, but missed the JTC1 meeting. In the spring of 2002, it was approved by letter ballot of JTC1 and submitted to ITTF for implementation. ITTF requires authorization by both ISO council and the IEC Council. ISO has already delegated this authority to JTC1, but IEC considers each request individually. Implementation of our request for free availability awaits approval by IEC.

Convener's Term

My second three-year term as convener is scheduled to end with the SC22 plenary meeting in September 2003. Because I served as acting Convener for a year prior to officially taking the job, my service in this regard will have spanned seven years. I have already announced that I will not seek another term as convener. Immediately following this meeting, I will advise the US National Body to initiate the search for a replacement. The procedure is that they will search for a candidate within the US. That candidate would be submitted to SC22 for approval at its 2003 plenary meeting. If the candidate is rejected (a truly rare occurrence), the US would look for a different candidate. If the US cannot find an acceptable candidate, the US would offer the convenership to other National Bodies.

Written Report

Email from Pascal Leroy, 6 December 2002:

Because of funding issues, the Rapporteur won't be able to attend the December WG9 meeting. He expresses his deepest apologies.

The ARG met in Vienna, Austria in June and in Bedford, MA in October. Most of the Vienna meeting was devoted to amendments, but during the Bedford meeting we focused our efforts on "normal" AIs, i.e. corrections to problems in the existing RM, as the queue of such AIs had been growing since the publication of the Corrigendum.

Excellent progress was made during these meetings on a number of amendments on which the ARG has been working for many years. A number of these amendments are now ready for approval by WG9, and they represent significant new capabilities for various application domains. The exact list of AIs submitted to WG9 will be found below, but it's worth mentioning that important proposals such as handling of mutually dependent types, the Ravenscar profile, private with clauses and package Directory_Operations are now technically complete. Good progress has also been made on some more controversial and speculative amendments like multiple inheritance through the use of interfaces or support of assertions.

The work done on normal AIs is certainly less spectacular and has more to do with routine maintenance of the language. One technical issue is worth noting, though: the ARG seems to be discovering a large number of problems due to the interaction between constrained access subtypes (an Ada 83 feature) and general access types (an Ada 95 feature). These problems represent serious language flaws and should be addressed by the revision. However it is unclear how this can be done compatibly. More technical work is needed, but the ARG may at some point in the future require guidance from WG9 on this safety vs. compatibility trade-off.

The ARG received excellent input from the real-time and safety-critical community, notably through the participation of the Rapporteur of the HRG and through AIs submitted as a result of the last IRTAW workshop. This input should help address the needs of a community where Ada has traditionally had a strong presence.

Before the Bedford meeting the ARG received the "Instructions to the ARG" document written by WG9, which gives guidelines regarding the revision of the language. While it is clear that this document contains language that is opened to some degree of interpretation (like "remedy shortcomings" or "judged to be acceptable") it was found useful in setting priorities, in eliminating or trimming proposals that were widely off the mark, or in evaluating potential incompatibilities. It is also hoped that these guidelines will help alleviate the concerns expressed by some vendors regarding the scope of the revision.

The Rapporteur proposes that WG9 appoint the following people as members of the ARG:

Baird, Baker, Barnes, Brosgol, Brukardt, Burns, Dewar, Dismukes, Duff, Gargaro, Ishihata, Leroy, Michell, Ploedereder, Rosen, Taft, Tokar.

The ARG has its "usual" motion for the December meeting for approval of a series of AIs. A pointer to retrieve the AIs is included. The Rapporteur would like to make it clear that he views approval of amendment AIs by WG9 as a recognition that the AIs in question are technically sound and complete. Whether each amendment AI will ultimately be part of the Amendment Document will have to be the subject of another vote later in the process, as issues such as the scope of the revision or the interactions between various AIs will have to be considered from a global perspective.

The cited AIs can be retrieved from the ACAA Web Site for AIs

[Agenda]


Report of ASIS Rapporteur Group, Currie Colket (Rapporteur)

Open Items

 Action Item 42-3

(Convener and ASIS RG Rapporteur): Confer to develop a charter or other terms of reference defining the scope of work of the ASIS RG.

Status: CLOSED. A charter has been drafted and is offered for approval by WG9.

Action Item 42-4

(Convener and ASIS RG Rapporteur): Review ISO procedures for handling defects and develop an appropriate mechanism. Ensure that there are terms of reference for the ASIS RG.

Status: OPEN

Prior Discussion

From Minutes of Meeting #41 [N400]:

Currie Colket mentioned that the ASIS RG is revising its charter. The convener noted that charter revisions must be approved by WG9.

ASIS RG is considering the preparation of a New Work Item Proposal to revise and extend ASIS to keep pace with Ada 2005. The ASIS RG may reconsider some of the design goals for the specification.

From Minutes of Meeting #42 [N409r]:

Currie Colket reported that the ASIS RG has begun planning for the development of amendments to the ASIS standard in coordination with the planned amendment to the Ada standard. Steve Blake cannot continue as project editor; however, he has agreed to continue serving until a replacement is found.

There was discussion that, aside from the NP for the ASIS standard, the ASIS RG lacks any formal terms of reference to define the scope of its work.

Report of Annex H Rapporteur Group, Alan Burns (Rapporteur)

Background WG9 N416, Charter of the HRG
Open Items

Action Item 39-5:

(HRG Rapporteur): Draft a New Work Item Proposal for the Technical Report providing guidelines and rationale for the use of the Ravenscar profile. 

Status: OPEN. A draft of the report has been created. Further action awaits approval of the AIs related to the Ravenscar profile. When that is completed, the report will be published as a University of York report and contributed to WG9 along with a New Work Item Proposal for a Type 3 Technical Report. 

Prior Discussion

From Minutes of Meeting #40, [N389]:

The HRG ... discussed the continuing role of Annex H of ISO/IEC 8652. They discussed the desirability of changing its title to High-Integrity rather than Safety and Security. The HRG might recommend that the fourth section of Annex H should be reworked to better fit with the recently completed TR 15942. They also considered tracking the usage of relevant pragmas implemented by various vendors. 

It is understood that the HRG may work with the University of York or other institutions in obtaining material that might be incorporated into a Technical Report. 

From Minutes of Meeting #41 [N400]:

The HRG has produced an initial 35-page draft of a TR providing guidance on usage of the Ravenscar profile. At yesterday's meeting, they confirmed the structure and the style of the guide. By the next meeting of WG9, they will produce a substantially completed draft. They meeting also reviewed the contents of Annex H of ISO/IEC 8652:1995. 

The International Real-time Ada Workshop (IRTAW) will look at real-time issues during its meeting in April 2002.

Alan mentioned that there were no plans to revise TR 15942.

From Minutes of Meeting #42 [N409r]:

Alan reported that there has been no formal meeting of the HRG since the last meeting of WG9. Progress has been made via email communication and a meeting in planned in Autumn 2002. The HRG continues to work with the ARG in developing exact text for the amendment to describe the incorporation of the Ravenscar profile. Work on the guidelines document is progressing. It is anticipated that the guidelines will first be published by the University of York and then contributed to WG9.

There was a discussion regarding the "Free Availability" of Technical Reports. It was asked, on the one hand, why so many reports are available and, on the other hand, why it is so tedious to get permission to make 15942 available. The Convener responded that the initial implementation of free availability explicitly provided for a large backlog. However, new ones still go through formal JTC1 and IEC procedures.

There was a discussion of price of standards in France and USA. No resolution of the matter, except to track it for now.

Written Report

Email from Alan Burns, 28 November 2002:

There will not be an HRG meeting collocated with WG9. I will not be attending WG9; my apologies.

HRG met in October and finalised the Ravenscar Guide. We await WG9 acceptance of Ravenscar AIs to complete our Guide. This will then be published as a University of York report and offered to WG9 as a Technical Report.
