I am looking for information concerning Ada tasking and how it may not 
be the best way to express concurrency.  I would like to see papers 
dedicated to the topic from proceedings or tech reports, not simply sections 
from papers on concurrency, unless the paper has a good discussion of the 
Ada tasking model and its drawbacks.

Unfortunately, there's an extra twist.  Ohio State doesn't have proceedings
from *any* Ada conference--it does get SIGada--so if you suggest a paper
and your description matches what I'm looking for, I may have to ask you
to send me a copy.  I'm sorry about that, but this library is in a pretty
sad shape.

I also be interested in talking to people who have interfaced C routines
into their Ada programs.  

    John
