Methodology Study for Real-Time Ada Problems

Abstract

Current policy (DoD87) of the US Department of Defense (DoD) mandates that the Ada programming language (as well as validated Ada compliers and an Ada-based program design language (PDL) be used on all integral weapon system computers. Generic problems that stem from this policy (Soni87), (LabT87) are the subject of this final technical report, which shows the relationship of each generic problem to the development methods (also called methodologies) used on real-time Ada projects. Section 1 explains the intent of the document. Section 2 presents the approach used for the investigation as a whole, showing how the theoretical groundwork is integrated with the empirical portion. The initial findings are the presented and analyzed. Section 3 summarizes the results of this technical effort, formulates the major conclusions, and recommends additional work.
