There are 4 mentions of Ada. Three are to the effect Ada was used in such and such a system. The most recent citation is 1991. The fourth says "Languages based on the message passing model include occam, Ada, SR, and many others. As these languages with their variations of message passing have been studied extensively in the literature, we refer to Bal et al [1989] for an overview, and do not discuss them in detail here." #.#
