Ada is the programming language of choice for high integrity software systemsand is used extensively in industries such as transportation and aerospace. Special features of the book include: Object-oriented programming, concurrency,and embedded and real-time systems are emphasized. Ada for Software Engineersexplains the language concepts and the terminology of the standards document,the Ada Reference Manual (ARM). Extracts from the ARM are used throughtout and there are extensive cross references to the ARM. A comprehensive glossary and technical quizzes assist the reader in developing the ability to use the ARMas a practical reference. Comparisons with familiar languages like C and Javaare given to facilitate the transition to Ada. The features of Ada 2005 are used routinely, but they are carefully identified, so that programmers using Ada 95 will also find the textbook useful. The companion website contains the full source code of nearly 100 case studies and 100 technical quizzes. The constructs of the language are taught within the context of large case studies suchas discrete event simulation Includes quizzes that explore unusual rules of the language INDICE: Preface.- The Language for a Complex World.- First Steps in Ada.- Subprograms.- Arrays.- Elementary Data Structures.- Packages and Abstract DataTypes.- Type Extension and Inheritance.- Type Extension and Inheritance (Continued).- Generics.- Exceptions and Run-Time Checks.- Composite Types.- Access Types.- Numeric Types.- Input-Output.- Program Structure.- Containers.- Interfaces and Multiple Inheritance.- Concurrency.- Concurrency (Continued).- Systems Programming.- Real-Time Systems.- Distributed and High Integrity Systems.- Glossary of ARM Terms.- Hints.- Answers.- References.- Index of ARM Sections.- Subject Index
