Developing Portable User Interfaces for Ada Command Control Software

Abstract

DoD mandated use of Ada for embedded systems include Combat and Control System such as shipboard Combat Direction System (CDS). A Low Cost CDS (LCCDS) which will use commercial workstation platforms will require interfacing Ada real-time programs with portable windowing environment such as X Windows. This thesis explores several methods for building X Windows based user interface for Ada C2 programs and provides a step-by-step approach to user interface design for future CDS developers. (kr)
