Abstract
This report gives an overview of the current status and plans to construct a prototype environment of advanced tools for software and hardware development based on the use of wide-spectrum languages. The wide-spectrum languages include Anna (ANNotated Ada), and TSL (Task Sequencing Language). The tools described here provide interactive aid at all stages in the system development process. Special emphasis is placed on distributed computing, both in providing tools for handling parallelism in the subject system, and in designing tools that utilize parallelism in the programming environment. Applications of these tools include requirements analysis, formal specification, rapid prototyping, testing, formal verfication and construction of self-testing Ada software for multi-processor systems.The report describes an existing environment of prototype tools supporting applications of Anna and TSL to formal specification and testing of Ada software. The new environment tools will be based on component tools already developed at Stanford and proven to be portable to various Ada environments. All tools are implemented in Ada and are intended to interface with standard components of Ada programming environments.
