Abstract

The Ada Programming Support Environment (APSE) has been introduced as a set of tools to support program development systems. This paper introduces the idea that the concepts and facilities of APSEs are valuable not only to host systems (those used to develop software), but also to certain Ada run-time environments (ARTEs) (those in which applications execute) and examines the implementation of large database transaction oriented systems in such an environment. Two examples of actual systems are used to show the benefits gained by using the Ada environment. A cost/benefit analysis for such a transition is also outlined.
