Abstract

The concurrency facilities within Ada 95 are more comprehensive than in any other language. Through a discussion of three case studies, this paper shows how the language abstractions supported by Ada can be combined to build effective higher-level abstractions. The three examples concern a concurrency problem, a fault tolerance requirement and a scheduling (real-time) issue. Together they illustrate that many of the criticisms that were rightly focused on Ada 83 have been addressed by the language revision.
