Volume 31, Number 4, December 2010 Ada User Journal 223 Editorial The majority of the content of this last issue of 2010 is the result of the work of two groups of Ada practitioners which devote part of their time to the development and promotion of the Ada language within two of the topics where Ada is without doubts a strong technology: real-time systems and reliable software. In the first part of the issue, we present an overview of the 14th International Real-Time Ada Workshop (IRTAW), which was held approximately one year ago, in Portovenere, Italy. This overview provides not only the workshop’s session summaries, allowing readers to get the necessary insight in the fruitful discussions and results of the workshop, but also a post workshop report, by Alan Burns, of the University of York, UK, presenting how the workshop proposals are going through the Ada 2012 standardization process (since many times we wonder what happens to the Ada Issues that the workshop produces). IRTAW has been and still is a major forum for Ada evolution (and not only in the real-time arena); it is therefore with happiness that in the issue we also have the announcement of the next edition of the workshop, which will take place in September 2011, in the mountains nearby Santander, Spain. In the second part o the issue, we conclude the publication of the results of the work of the Software Vulnerabilities group, which produced the Ada annex (published in the September issue of the Ada User Journal) to the ISO Technical Report on “Avoiding Programming Language Vulnerabilities through Language Selection and Use” (ISO/IEC PDTR 24772.2). To finalize the work, in this issue we publish the annex concerning SPARK. I would also like to point out to our readers the forthcoming events section, where, before the IRTAW call for papers, we already have preliminary information concerning “The Ada Connection”, an event that combines the Ada-Europe 2011 conference and the Ada-Conference UK 2011, taking place in Edinburgh, Scotland, next June 20-24. In the Ada Gems section, the issue publishes the series of gems concerning the Distributed Systems Annex, by Thomas Quinot, of AdaCore, France. Last, but definitely not least, readers will find the wealthy of information in the usual news digest and calendar sections. In a final note, this last 2010 issue of the Ada User Journal should be reaching you already in 2011. Nevertheless, hopefully there was no substantial delay (except for the normal printing and distribution time). We are making our best efforts in putting the AUJ back in its scheduled publication date, and I would like to thank the Editorial Team of the Journal – Jorge Real (Deputy Editor), Dirk Craeynest (Calendar and Events), and Marco Panunzio (News Digest) – for all their volunteer efforts in achieving this.

  • A Model-Driven Development and Verification Approach

    A Model-Driven Development and Verification Approach

    A MODEL-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT AND VERIFICATION APPROACH FOR MEDICAL DEVICES by Jakub Jedryszek B.S., Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland, 2012 B.A., Wroclaw University of Economics, Poland, 2012 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Computing and Information Sciences College of Engineering KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2014 Approved by: Major Professor John Hatcliff Abstract Medical devices are safety-critical systems whose failure may put human life in danger. They are becoming more advanced and thus more complex. This leads to bigger and more complicated code-bases that are hard to maintain and verify. Model-driven development provides high-level and abstract description of the system in the form of models that omit details, which are not relevant during the design phase. This allows for certain types of verification and hazard analysis to be performed on the models. These models can then be translated into code. However, errors that do not exist in the models may be introduced during the implementation phase. Automated translation from verified models to code may prevent to some extent. This thesis proposes approach for model-driven development and verification of medi- cal devices. Models are created in AADL (Architecture Analysis & Design Language), a language for software and hardware architecture modeling. AADL models are translated to SPARK Ada, contract-based programming language, which is suitable for software veri- fication. Generated code base is further extended by developers to implement internals of specific devices. Created programs can be verified using SPARK tools. A PCA (Patient Controlled Analgesia) pump medical device is used to illustrate the primary artifacts and process steps.

    Resource Management and Tuples in C∀

    Resource Management and Tuples in C8 by Robert Schluntz A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Mathematics in Computer Science Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2017 © Robert Schluntz 2017 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract C8 is a modern, non-object-oriented extension of the C programming language. This thesis addresses several critical deficiencies of C, notably: resource management, a limited function- return mechanism, and unsafe variadic functions. To solve these problems, two fundamental language features are introduced: tuples and constructors/destructors. While these features exist in prior programming languages, the contribution of this work is engineering these features into a highly complex type system. C is an established language with a dedicated user-base. An important goal is to add new features in a way that naturally feels like C, to appeal to this core user-base, and due to huge amounts of legacy code, maintaining backwards compatibility is crucial. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Peter Buhr, for all of his help, including reading the many drafts of this thesis and providing guidance throughout my degree. This work would not have been as enjoyable, nor would it have been as strong without Peter’s knowledge, help, and encouragement. I would like to thank my readers, Professors Gregor Richards and Patrick Lam for all of their helpful feedback.
