Abstract

Currently, embedded programs are written in a variety of programming languages. None were specifically designed for the real-time environment. The use of a general purpose language for embedded systems can lead to inefficient applications which are more likely to fail to meet timing and execution requirements, or experience run-time errors that prove catastrophic for safety-critical systems. A domain specific language, in which real-time constructs are part of the language proper rather than hosted in a library, is likely to lessen the risks of implementation of tasks with strict real-time requirements. This paper outlines a Ada derived programming language called Anima that directly addresses many of the challenging issues of real-time embedded software development.
