Ada's SUPPORT FOR RELIABILITY

In the March/April issue of Journal of Object-Oriented Programming, Richard Riehle discusses the issue of reliability as an important factor in determining what programming language to use. Riehle asks whether the object- oriented programming language (OOPL) used makes a difference. Riehle looks at the new 1995 Ada standard to see how OOP either reduces or increases support for the reliability goal.

Riehle also includes an Ada industry update of Ada 95 validated compilers, Ada in the embedded systems marketplace, new Ada consulting and training organizations and Ada tool vendors.
