Ada for Embedded Systems: Issues and Questions

Abstract : This report addresses issues and questions related to the use of Ada for embedded systems applications; it contains some preliminary recommendations for compilation system implementors, application developers, program managers,and Ada policy makers. The issues and questions provide the context for the Ada Embedded Systems Testbed (AEST) Project at the Software Engineering Institute, where staff members are investigated software development and performance issues for real-time embedded systems.
