An analyst-oriented development approach for real-time Ada software

An approach is given for developing real time Ada software systems, called interactive Ada development approach (IADA). The approach features automated translation of a graphic model to code and a unified, analyst-centered environment for software development. The IADA demonstrates an enhancement of the state of the process and supporting technologies which will allow Ada to be produced for deliverable real-time applications from a graphic analysis using an enhanced commercial CASE tool and other standard utilities. The discussion also introduces the notion of the model-centered analysis which greatly simplifies the task of managing and maintaining a software product
