Ada in Europe : Second International Eurospace--Ada-Europe Symposium, Frankfurt/Main, Germany, October 2-6, 1995 : proceedings / Marcel Toussaint, ed.

Includes bibliographical references.

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Second International Eurospace - Ada-Europe Symposium, held in Frankfurt, Germany, in October 1995. The 37 selected revised papers are organized in sections on Ada 95: the future, safety, language, applications, distribution, methods and tools, design methods, life cycle, real-time, and methods. Many significant features of the new Ada 95 version, officially issued in February 1995, are addressed. Besides Ada-specific problems, general software engineering aspects are also presented.
