Abstract
In the present paper we are discussing the language Ada., We are giving a short survey of the history of Ada and are presenting the main design goals of the language. We compare Ada with some other general programming languages and with specific simulation languages. We investigate the advances of Ada for a simulation support environment in form of a package system. We analyse Ada in the context of different simulation approaches or world views. Finally we are discussing, how a simulation language could be defined on top of Ada and are giving a simple example for such an extension.
