Scheduling difficulties of Ada in the hard real-time environment

The tasking model in Ada suffers from several limitations which make scheduling strategies cumbersome for many embedded systems. This paper discusses the timing needs of one class of these systems and describes a plausible response to the problems.

Development of real-time systems is expensive and difficult, in part because of low-level languages that force developers to use facilities that are ad hoc, incomplete, and not portable. The Real-Time Systems Annex of Ada 2005 (along with the language ...

Real-time systems are growing in complexity and real-timeand soft real-time applications are becoming commonin general-purpose computing environments. Thus, there isa growing need for scheduling solutions that simultaneouslysupport processes with a ...
