This volume contains the proceedings of the twelfth
Ada-Europe conference, held in France in 1993. The French
name "Ada sans fronti res" (the only French words in the
book) symbolizes the unlimitedness and novelty of Ada, as
well as Europe-wide interest.
Many papers relate to Ada-9X, the new standard that the Ada
coimmunity is close to achieving after worldwide
consultation and debate about requirements, specification,
anddetailed definition. Their focus is on management,
real-time, and compiler validation.
Part of the conference was on object orientation, together
with various issues relating to the general structure of the
language, including exceptions to a certain use of
genericity and heterogeneous data, efficiency, formal
requirements and CASEs, and comparison with a competitor
language.
A third part relates to real-time, past with performance
measurement, present with certification andapplications,
and future with the ExTRA project and 9X.
