ADA is finding ever more applications - the US Defense Department now uses ADA and new, production-quality compilers for ADA are commercially available. Written by a well-known expert in the field, this book provides complete coverage of ADA's unique features, making it both a good introduction to the language and a useful working reference for ADA programmers. An explanation is given of how to use ADA to design concurrent systems with tasks and packages, emphasizing the details of problem-solving. All ADA tasking issues are addressed, including machine level issues and design issues. Syntax, semantics and activation are explained and the reader is shown how to use ADA effectively through five major case studies and numerous problems keyed to the studies. The previous edition of this book was published in 1984. The text will be of interest to software engineers and students of computer science.
