Abstract
During the development of the TACTICAL system (the European air traffic flow management application), some key decisions were taken about the usage of Ada tasking and dynamic memory. This paper presents the key factors that were taken into account to decide whether or not to use these two functionalities during the development. It shows how these initial design decisions were re-assessed during the development process.
