Abstract

The Arcturus system demonstrates several important principles that will characterize advanced Ada programming support environments. These include conceptual simplicity, tight coupling of tools, and effective command and editing concepts. Arcturus supports interactive program development and permits the combined use of interpretive and compiled execution. Arcturus is not complete however, as practical, mature environments for Ada must also support the development, analysis, testing, and debugging of concurrent programs. These issues are currently being explored. Arcturus, therefore is a platform for experimental exploration of key programming environment issues. This paper focuses primarily on the current system, describing and illustrating some of its components, while issues less fully developed are more briefly described.
