Abstract
Ada, the new Department of Defense standard language, contains many features designed to facilitate the construction of software for embedded computer systems. Two par ticularly important features are tasks (independent threads of execution in a program) and packages (collections of routines and data structures that can be compiled separately and in cluded as a unit in other programs). These features allow the construction of powerful, process-oriented, discrete-system simulation packages in Ada. We provide a design for such a package and illustrate its use.Keywords
