Abstract

Prototypes provide a means for obtaining rapid feedback concerning the design of a system. Ideally, a prototype system should be easy to implement and modify; moreover, it should implement enough of the system's functionality to allow an evaluation of the design.The Ada programming language, with emphasis on modularity and well-defined module interfaces, appears suitable for implementing prototype systems. This paper describes how one could develop a prototype in Ada for a small real-time control program and then successively enhance the prototype to produce the final production version.
