Abstract

This paper supplements the "Proposed Standard for Packages of Real and Complex Type Declarations and Basic Operations for Ada (including Vector and Matrix Types)", to be submitted by the ISO-IEC/JCT1/SC22/WG9 (Ada) Numerics Rapporteur Group. Based on recommendations made jointly by the Ada-Europe Numerics Working Group and the ACM SIGAda Numerics Working Group, the proposed real and complex vector and matrix standard is the third of several anticipated secondary standards to address the interrelated issues of portability, efficiency and robustness of numerical software written in Ada. Its purpose, features and development are outlined in this commentary.
