Download or read book Rationale for the Design of the ADA Programming Language Volume 14 Number 6 written by Jean D. Ichbiah and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document, the Rationale for the design of the Green programming language, and the companion Reference Manual, are the two defining documents for the Green language. They serve different purposes. The Reference Manual contains a complete and concise definition of the language. Following Wirth we believe in the virtue of having a rather short reference manual. This has the advantage of providing the information in a form that can easily be consulted, read and reread several times, as the basis for developing a good familarity with the language.

Book excerpt: The ADA programming language was first used by the U.S. Department of Defense in the 1980s. They wanted to develop a centralized and standardized computer programming language, because there were thousands of languages in use, most of which were designed for just one system. ADA was officially standardized in 1979 and exclusively controlled by the Department of Defense, but they released the language to the public in 1987. Today, many industries use ADA, which is now defined by an international programming standards called the language reference manual (LRM).ADA is a highly advanced programming language that is designed according to the fundamental software engineering principles of efficiency, reliability, portability and maintainability. ADA provides everything from information hiding to abstract data types to concurrent-oriented programming functionality. Almost all professional ADA programmers follow a controlled validation process that eliminates poor practices and vulnerabilities that were possible through old languages like C. Ada is a highly flexible and structured object-oriented computer programming language.There are many reasons why ADA is globally popular. The syntax is very easy to learn, so users can create basic code in just a few minutes. Thus, it is easy for users to follow the program semantics and the connections between ideas, functions and language constructs. The ADA programming language is so powerful that it is mainly limited by the creativity and competency of the programmer. ADA has excellent error handling, support for distributed systems and implementation of abstract data types and package encapsulation.Programmers prefer ADA for different reasons. First, organizations will save on development costs because ADA does not require extended testing, upgrades and quality assurance checks. Instead, it was designed with embedded checks so that users can quickly and effectively detect errors that would be caught during the debugging process with C-based languages. Second, ADA is a mature, well-established language that has experienced different versions, such as ADA 83 in the 1980s, ADA 95 in the 1990s and ADA 2005 in recent years. During every new release, practical functionality and run-time efficiency are the top priorities.

Download or read book Ada 2012 Rationale written by John Barnes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ada 2012 is the latest version of the international standard for the programming language Ada. It is designated ISO/IEC 8652:2012 (E) and is a new edition replacing the 2005 version. The primary goals for the new version were to further enhance its capabilities particularly in those areas where its reliability and predictability are of great value. Many important new features have been included such as those defining dynamic contracts and for handling multiprocessors and are integrated within the existing language framework in an elegant and coherent manner. The Ada 2012 Rationale describes not only the changes from Ada 2005 but also the reason for the changes. It starts with an introduction providing a general overview and this is followed by seven chapters focusing on contracts and aspects; extended expressions; structure and visibility; tasking and real time; iterators and pools; predefined library and containers. The book concludes with an epilogue largely concerned with compatibility issues.

Download or read book Ada and Beyond written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-03-03 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ada programming language was created by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) nearly two decades ago to provide a general-purpose programming language for defense and commercial use, but has evolved into a niche solution for safety-critical systems, primarily in defense applications. Ada and Beyond presents an approach for the DOD to move beyond the debate over its policy that requires the use of Ada for all new software development. It describes the importance of the software engineering process and recommends to DOD mechanisms for more effective review of software development and improved collection of data on software project outcomes. The volume also analyzes the technical, empirical, and business cases for using Ada and other programming languages, makes recommendations regarding the appropriate conditions under which DOD should continue to require the use of Ada, and details activities that require funding by DOD in order for Ada to remain a viable programming language.

Download or read book A Review of Ada Tasking written by Alan Burns and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1987-06-24 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ada* is unquestionably one of the most significant programming languages to emerge in the last decade. The manner of its inception and support by the US Department of Defense (DoD) ensures that it will be used extensively for the indefinite future in programming large and complex systems. The growing availability of compilers means that many organisations are already committed to using the language for sizable and significant applications. As a perhaps inevitable result of its design goals, Ada is a "large" language. It has Pascal-like control and type constructs; a mechanism for exception handling; a package structure for information hiding, decomposition and separate compilation; facilities for low-level programming; and a tasking model of concurrency. It is perhaps this last area that has generated most debate, criticism and disagreement. The purpose of this book is to review the tasking model in the light of the extensive analysis and comment which has appeared in the literature. The review is necessarily wide-ranging, including discussion of - Ada as a general purpose concurrent programming language, - Ada as a language for embedded and distributed systems, - implementation issues, with particular reference to distributed systems, - formal semantics, specification and verification, - proposed language modifications. By consolidating this discussion within the confines of a single review, potential users of the tasking facility are enabled to familiarise themselves with all the factors which may impinge upon the performance, reliability and correctness of their software. The book also provides a focus for any debate on modifications to the Ada language, or developments from it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ada 95, the enhanced version of the Ada programming language, is now in place and has attracted much attention in the community since the International Standard ISO/IEC 8652:1995(E) for the language was approved in 1995. The Ada 95 Rationale comes in four parts. The introductory part is a general discussion of the scope and objectives of Ada 95 and its major technical features. The second part contains a more detailed step by step account of the core language. The third part consists of several annexes addressing the predefined environment and specialized application areas. Finally, the three appendices of the fourth part are devoted to the upward compatibility with Ada 83, a few changes since the drafts of the standard were made public, and a summary of requirements.

Download or read book Rationale for the Design of an Ada Prototyping Language written by Paul A. Bailes and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "The advent of formal, even semi-automated methods of software development directed by mathematical specifications further heightens the necessity for Rapid Prototyping. Rapid Prototyping makes new demands upon software developer processes and practitioners than can be ameliorated by making its technology accessible from within existing technologies, e.g. Ada. Effectiveness considerations dicate both a preprocessor implementation of any entensions/changes to Ada and that functional programming be the prime paradigm to be supported by them. The essence of the functional paradigm is its support for higher-order, function-valued functions to varying levels of generality. A spectrum of levels of support by Ada exists for these different levels of generality, implemented by increasingly sophisticated preprocessors. This leads to the conclusion that Ada is well-designed for adaptability to emerging software development methods. This, and the high level of support we have achieved for the functional paradigm leads to the further conclusion that further R & D in the adaptation of Ada to different paradigms (e.g. object- orientation) is now warranted."

Download or read book Ada Trademark as a Program Design Language Have the Major Issues Been Addressed and Answered written by R. M. Blasewitz and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Department of Defense requirements to use the higher order language Ada will create challenges to developers of military software that encompass these major concerns: (1) developing a core of Ada software personnel, (2) achieving productivity and software gains that have been targeted as Ada life-cycle objectives, and (3) transitioning to a language that embodies a capability to express software solutions eloquently, clearly, reliably and efficiently. Ada is more than a programming language, it is the basis for a modern perspective of software design and engineering. The IEEE working group on Ada as a PDL has been addressing the issues involved with the use of Ada as a design mechanism for nearly two years. This working group has recently generated a draft guideline that addresses the key issues. The extent of industry's involvement with Ada PDLs and the status and final form of the IEEE product will substantially impact both the acceptance of the Ada language and the efficiency and correctness of its use.

Blasewitz and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense requirements to use the higher order language Ada by the mid-1980s will create challengers to developers of military software that encompass two major concerns: developing a core of Ada software personnel, and achieving productivity and software quality gains that have been targeted as Ada life cycle objectives. Because of recent government direction to use Ada-based PDLs, many organizations are developing prototype Ada-based design methods. The IEEE working group on Ada as a PDL is working on guidelines for the use of Ada-based design languages. The guidelines will include recommendations reflecting the current state of the art as well as alternative approaches in order to preserve good practice. The extent of industry's involvement with Ada PDLs, and also the status of the IEEE guidelines, may substantially impact both the acceptance of the Ada language and the efficiency of its use.
