 | | In the niche market that the HOOD method addresses (notably aerospace and transport), its specialised derivative HRT-HOOD has, over the last few years, increasingly earned the reputation of being "the" answer to the demands from the development of time-critical systems. |
 | | The massive advent of UML presents the HRT-HOOD community with a threat and an opportunity: the threat that the irresistible thrust of the new trend obliterate the methodological value of the old; the opportunity of riding the UML wave, with its large offer of support technology, while trying to preserve the unique strengths of HRT-HOOD. |
 | | Finally, which should be of major interest to the Ada community, this paper presents its strategic choice to view the Ada Ravenscar Profile as the target language for the automated code generation capability attached to the method. |
