    This volume presents the findings of the Ada-Europe specialist group for compiler assessment. The conclusions of this group should prove essential reading for anyone considering adoption of the Ada programming language and will be of value to the entire Ada community. The findings have been presented in an edited form, making them accessible to the new recruit to this rapidly expanding community.
