Abstract
In this paper, the authors introduce STRAda: a transformation and distribution system for Ada programs. The aim of the system is to allow users to run Ada programs on a distributed architecture, i.e. over a network comprising several nodes.
The problem is addressed from a transformational standpoint: Ada program text is transformed into another kind of Ada text which in turn uses primitives from the STRAda kernel built on top of a distributed operating system: UNIX.
We discuss design and implementation of the STRAda kernel and the kinds of transformations we have taken into consideration.
