Summary
This paper presents the functionality of Ada and Ada9X for programming of real-time applications. In addition to support the object-oriented programming paradigm, the major extensions to Ada — in the scope of Ada9X — are made to support the requirements of the real-time community. The revision of the language Ada which is done in the Ada9X-project, run by the Department of Defense offers significant improvements in the area of real-time programming. Some highlights are protected types, support for implementation of interrupt handlers, priority based scheduling models, improved determines, and a model to implement distributed systems.. The various activities to define an Ada-binding to IEEE/POSIX real-time standards are not described here.
