ADA: A Language for Robot Programming?
نویسنده
چکیده
Robot programming languages are emerging from their experimental stage and entering an assessment phase. Their main features are illustrated and a parallel with ADA is proposed. The comparison is positive for ADA, in the sense that ADA provides most of the required capabilities. The ability of reasoning on object models and taking decisions will play an increasing role in the future. In this case the role of ADA would possibly change and its interest as robot programming language decrease,

متن کاملTasklettes - A Fine Grained Parallelism for Ada on Multicores
The widespread use of multi-CPU computers is challenging programming languages, which need to adapt to be able to express potential parallelism at the language level. In this paper we propose a new model for fine grained parallelism in Ada, putting forward a syntax based on aspects, and the corresponding semantics to integrate this model with the existing Ada tasking capabilities. We also propo...
متن کاملAda as a language for programming clusters of SMPs
This paper presents a new idea of developing parallel programs for clusters of SMP nodes using the Ada programming language. We show how to implement OpenMP in Ada and simplify programming of distributed memory applications using remote subprograms calls instead of complicated message passing.
متن کاملObject-Oriented Programming and Protected Objects in Ada 95
Integrating concurrent and object-oriented programming has been an active research topic since the late 1980s. The majority of approaches have taken a sequential object-oriented language and made it concurrent. A few approaches have taken a concurrent language and made it object-oriented. The most important of this latter class is the Ada 95 language which is an extension to the object-based co...
متن کاملThe SPIF Project
This paper introduces the current developments of the SPIF (Système de Prototypage à Implantation rapide et Faible coût) project. The goal of SPIF is to provide a low cost environment for quick prototyping of embedded distributed real-time applications. The hardware platform is built with reusable, standard off-the-shelf components. SPIF is the name of the testbed itself, a mobile autonomous ro...
