Ada Test and Evaluation.

Abstract

Ada is the proposed Department of Defense general purpose programming language for embedded computer system applications. The language was designed according to the STEELMAN requirements developed by HOLWG of DARPA. The primary objective of this Work Unit was to test and evaluate the Ada language in relation to the specific needs of the Air Force, as well as DoD. This effort supported the overall Test and Evaluation program sponsored by DARPA. The AL Test and Evaluation project was to recode the Digital Avionics Information System (DAIS) Local Executive from JOVIAL J73/I to Ada. The results were incorporated into a Design Validation Report and submitted to HOLWG. Design Validation Reports from all Ada Test and Evaluation participants were to be evaluated and then the Ada language design would be finalized. (Author)
