On Ada packages, types and task types
Albert Llamosí · ACM SIGAda Ada Letters · 1992
Two important uses of Ada packages are analyzed. Namely, for defining abstract data types and for defining task subsystems. Their advantages are only summarized, since they are well known, but the advantages and drawbacks of alternative ways of achieving such purposes are discussed and a uniform style of use is sustained, as well as the need for a specific notation for compound task types.
