Advanced Ada support for real-time programming

Abstract

This paper is an extended summary of the tutorial given at Ada-Europe 2012. In the 2005 and 2012 revisions of the Ada standard, realtime programming has experienced a large improvement but most of the new services introduced are unknown or underused due to the lack of free software implementations. The tutorial presented an overview of these new services trying to focus on their utility for real-time systems and their typical use patterns.
