ADA Integrated Environment I. Design Rationale.

Abstract

The Ada Integrated Environment (AIE) consists of a set of software tools intended to support design, development and maintenance of embedded computer software. A significant portion of an AIE includes software systems and tools residing and executing on a host computer (or set of computers). This set is known as an Ada Programming Support Environment (APSE). This report describes the rationale of the design for a minimal APSE, called a MAPSE. The MAPSE is the foundation upon which an APSE is built and will provide comprehensive support throughout the design, development and maintenance of Ada software. The MAPSE tools described in this report include an Ada compiler, linker/loader, debugger, editor, and configuration management tools. The kernel (KAPSE) will provide the interfaces (user, host, tool), database support, and facilities for executing Ada programs (runtime support system). (Author)
