The US Army Aviation and Missile Command Software Engineering Directorate has been working with DARPA, the Open Systems Joint Task Force, the Software Engineering Institute, and other research organizations to develop advance software engineering technology.  The products of this research are being demonstrated in the SED booth.

One of the most significant and revolutionary technologies is the use of Architecture Description Language to model, formally analyze, and implement the software/hardware architecture of imbedded real-time systems.  The language and toolset is MetaH, which is compatible with Ada83 and Ada95.  The technology also includes the ability to express the behavior of the system at the architecture level and generate the system executive to implement the described behavior.  Embedded systems reuse is greatly enabled with this technology through an extremely powerful glue code generation capability used to integrate the executable system on the specified hardware.  The technology has been developed for building state-of-the-art aircraft and missle avionics and flight control software and the ongoing accelerated evolution of these systems.  It supports multilevel safety critical and fault management requirements.  New software re-engineering technologies are also on display.

Real-Time Win32 with ObjectAda

Dave Wood

Win32, the de facto standard OS interface specified by Microsoft and used by Windows 95/98, NT, and Win/CE, is not suitable for deterministic, hard real-time applications. Or is it? Aonix and Phar Lap combine resources to bring high-performance Ada code into the realm of embedded Win 32 applications.

CORBA for Real-Time and Non Real-Time Ada 95 Applications

Brad Balfour

CORBA, the Object Management Group (OMG) standardized middleware, provides developers with a technology to created mixed-language, heterogeneous, distributed-object programs. Developers are now using OIS' CORBA ORB -- ORBexpress for Ada 95 -- in both hard and soft real-time systems as well as for those non real-time systems where performance is important. In addition to describing CORBA and ORBexpress, this presentation will highlight the on going OMG effort to standardize a Real-Time CORBA ORB, OIS' role in that effort, and the many Real-Time features which are already included in ORBexpress Real-Time for Ada 95. Finally, information on OIS' newest implementations of CORBA Services and the current status of ORBexpress will be presented.
