We, at ENST, are developping Ocarina, that includes an AADL-to-Ada code generator. We got some interesting results in generating Ada code that matches many restrictions from the HIS annex from AADL models. See http://ocarina.enst.fr/ for more details Also, Cheddar, the scheduling toolsuite, has some support for AADL, same goes for STOOD from Ellidiss. Which means, as stated by Jean-Pierre, that the Ada community is also involved in this language, and that links between the two are strong. -- Jerome
