Comprehensive scheduling controls for Ada tasking
Tzilla Elrad · 1988
One of the functions for which Ada needs more expressive power is scheduling control. Scheduling controls provide a mechanism for comprehensive scheduling.In order to evaluate any concurrent language for its ability to control a multi-events environment, we need to have a general set for classifying all possible controls. Such a classification can exploit the expressive power of any concurrent language, and thus be used to provide us with a priori knowledge regarding the capacity of the language to be used for a specific application. It will also enable us to suggest the best environment for the application at hand. Evaluating Ada against these control capacities will provide us with a scientific approach to the issue of forming an integrated design of comprehensive scheduling controls for Ada.
