Abstract

The relation between the Ada tasking model and the formal model timed automatonis described. Guidelines fortranslatingAdatasking constructs into timed automata and vice versa are given, along with important differences and similarities in tasking semantics between Ada task and timed automata. A case study shows how a previously verified audio control protocol is translated to Ada.
