Wellings' Ph.D. dissertation is cited in Burns' book _Concurrent Programming in Ada_ (Cambridge U. Press 1985 - Ada Companion Series). Burns is at Bradford U. (U.K.); I think Wellings was his student, don't remember where he went, but I'm pretty sure it's still in England. The Burns book is an _excellent_ balanced monograph on the Ada tasking model, including a whole lot of hints for avoiding tasking pitfalls. It's similar to the Gehani book, but with a lot more interesting examples.
