The Ada Rendezvous Mechanism
edit--Roy.kimbrell 22:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I added the line "He is the primary inventor of and protagonist for the Ada Rendezvous mechanism." This is based on a personal discussion with Jean Icbiah, then of Honeywell Bull (the French company that produced the first Ada specification in 1982), who was the project manager of the Ada specification project, and with John Barnes, himself. These conversations took place at the unveiling of the Ada specification at the Boston conference in (September, I believe, but I could be wrong there) of 1982. Also at this conference John Barnes gave a presentation describing the Rendezvous mechanism.
