I don't think that it is possible, and moreover, I don't think that studying real, complex code would be easy and educational. If you want to see some interesting examples of using Ada in control systems, consult the books, especially the following: 1. Kjell Nielsen, Ken Shumate: Designing Large Real-Time Systems with Ada. This is Ada 83, unfortunately, but this is not a big issue. Inside you will find 5 case studies: Remote Temperature Sensor, Draw Image problem, Simple Mail System, Air Traffic Control System, Robot Controller. Some quite close to avionics, 2. Ken Shumate: Understanding Concurrency in Ada. Also some case studies: Hot Line Communication System, Air Track Display System, Message Transmission System, Multiple Keyboard Handler, Remote Temperature Sensor, 3. Kjell Nielsen: Ada in Distributes Real-Time Systems. Some case studies: Robot Controller, Air Traffic Control Systems. In addition, the following books are recommended: Alan Burns, Andy Wellings: Concurrency in Ada The same authors: Teal Time Systems and Their programming Languages. Try to get 2-nd edition, it covers Ada95. More general and less technical is the following: Ken Shumate, Marylin Keller: Software Specification and Design: A Disciplined Approach for Real-Time Systems. I was teaching Real-Time Programming for quite a long while and I have some my own examples in Ada83 (climate control in a building). I will try to recover the code, but it will take a while (well... somewhere in moving boxes in the basement...) A.L.
