Abstract

A critical look is taken at the ADA communication primitives by comparing them to the ITP (Input Tool Process) model, the model for process communication developed at Nijmegen. The comparison is done by means of example solutions to several problems in both models.It is shown that by using features extracted from the ITP model, the communication facilities in ADA could be improved considerably with respect to orthogonality, clarity, flexibility and power.
