Abstract

The first part of this paper tries to characterise the notorious software crisis. Some of these characteristics are: Programming in the Large, Distributed Development, Configuration-Management, Object-Oriented Analysis, Design and Programming, Consistency of Interfaces, Life cycle and Maintainability, Reusability, Portability.

The second part discusses some “prejudices” about Ada, such as military language, complex, expensive, inefficient, old-fashioned, not object-oriented, not open to integrate COTS-products.

The third part presents some highlights of Ada95 which may contribute to overcome this crisis.
