Abstract

Software architectures increase productivity when used as the basis for developing applications in a particular domain. This paper describes the creation of Easy_Sim, an Ada 9X graphics software architecture and framework for distributed visual simulation systems. To prove this concept, the research builds upon ObjectSim, an existing object-oriented C++ application framework. The investigation involves honing ObjectSim's design and constructing Easy_Sim with a combination of C++ and Ada 9X. Graphics applications using the new framework are developed purely in Ada 9X. The primary objective of the study is to produce a visual simulation system from Easy_Sim in Ada 9X that performs at a level comparable to the same graphics application built from ObjectSim in C++.
