You're probably thinking of Programming In occam 2, by Alan Burns, 
Addison-Wesly,1988. ISBN 0-201-17371-9

However, for a comparison of Ada and occam (among others) you have 
to go to the very much more recent book by Alan Burns and Andy Wellings, 
Real-Time Systems and Programming Languages, Addison-Wesley, 1997.  
ISBN is 0-201-40365-X.  Be sure to get the second edition, as it has been 
updated for Ada95 as well as POSIX, and contains much more scheduling 
material.
