Abstract
This paper presents our experience implementing the Ada 95 Annex E to support distributed systems using the GNAT compiler[6]. The work has been performed by a multinational team from France and the USA. The paper describes the implementation of the Partition Communication System and the required support from the GNAT compiler. In addition, extensions beyond Annex E are described that facilitate programming the next generation of distributed applications in Ada 95.
