    Ada 2012 Published in LNCS and as Free eBook

    Posted by Ada Europe

    BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, May 12, 2014. Ada-Europe today announced the publication in extra formats of the 2012 version of the Ada programming language standard, after its formal approval by ISO/IEC JTC 1 in December 2012.

    Since its standardization, the Ada 2012 standard has been available in HTML and Adobe Acrobat format (PDF), from the download sites [1] and [2]. More recently, the latest Ada language definition became also available as volume 8339 of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science series [3], as a companion to the Ada 2012 Rationale, published by Springer as LNCS 8338.

    Moreover, with a view to exploring new media platforms to further widen the availability of this important material, Ada-Europe has now produced a prototype eBook of the Ada 2012 Reference Manual, which can be downloaded from [1]. This eBook should be regarded as a draft concept, proposed for the scrutiny of the Ada community at large, for feedback on its perceived usefulness and suggestions for improvements. Returns on this subject should be addressed to Ada-Europe at board@ada-europe.org.

    AdaCore Releases Major New Version of CodePeer Static Analysis Tool

    Posted by AdaCore
    CodePeer 2.3 is the latest version of AdaCore’s static analysis tool for the automated review and validation of Ada source code. CodePeer assesses potential bugs before program execution to find errors efficiently and early in the development life cycle. It also performs impact and vulnerability analysis when existing code is modified, and, using control-flow, data-flow and other advanced static analysis techniques, the tool detects problems that would otherwise only be found through labor-intensive debugging.

    Muen Separation Kernel Lays Open Source Foundation for High-Assurance Software Components

    Posted by AdaCore
    The Institute for Internet Technologies and Applications at the University of Applied Science in Rapperswil (Switzerland) and AdaCore today announced a significant expansion of the Open Source software model into the domain of high-assurance systems with the preview release of the Muen Separation Kernel. The Muen Kernel enforces a strict and robust isolation of components to shield security-critical functions from vulnerable software running on the same physical system. To achieve the necessary level of trustworthiness, the Muen team used the SPARK language and toolset to formally prove the absence of run-time errors.

    AdaCore and Altran Toolsets Help Launch CubeSat into Orbit

    Posted by AdaCore, Altran

    NEW YORK, PARIS, & BATH, United Kingdom–Today, AdaCore and Altran announced a new space application for the GNAT Pro technology and SPARK language toolset, with the successful launch of Vermont Technical College’s Lunar CubeSat. The tiny satellite, measuring only 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm and weighing 1.1 kg, was launched into a 500 km earth orbit, where it will remain for about three years to test the systems that will be used for the eventual lunar mission. The CubeSat project is part of NASA’s ELaNa IV program (Educational Launch of Nano-satellites).

    The CubeSat’s navigation and control software was developed in SPARK/Ada using AdaCore’s GNAT Programming Studio (GPS) IDE and GNAT Pro compiler and exploiting Altran’s SPARK toolset to prove the absence of run-time errors. The software was developed at Vermont Technical College by a team of undergraduate students under the direction of Dr. Peter Chapin. Although they had no previous knowledge of SPARK or Ada, the students came up to speed quickly and were able to take advantage of SPARK’s various annotations to produce robust code.
