The use of Ada in Real-Time Systems

The latest version of Ada (Ada 95) and one of its add-ons
(Annex H: Safety and Security - often referred to as the
Ravenscar profile) have provided much improved support for
the development of predictable real-time systems.  The aim of
this tutorial is to provide software engineers with an introduction
to the use of these features in implementations and the necessary
scheduling theory so that they are used correctly.  No experience
of Ada or scheduling theory is assumed.

Aims

Delegates of this tutorial course will have the unique opportunity of
attending a day of lectures with a single case study used as the basis
that will allow the following two objectives to be met:

� to explain how the tasking features of Ada 95 and, in particular, how
the Ravenscar profile may be used.  But most importantly�

� the principal aim is to give an introduction to the scheduling theory
- which is the basis for the real-time model contained in Ada - so that
it can be used in an appropriate manner.
