	Ada Lovelace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ada was the only legitimate child of the poet Lord Byron and his wife, Annabella Milbanke.
		Ada was privately schooled in mathematics and science by William Frend, William King and Mary Somerville.
		Ada Lovelace was bled to death at the age of 36 by her physicians, who were trying to treat her uterine cancer.

	Ada programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ada is a structured, statically typed imperative computer programming language designed by a team led by Jean Ichbiah of CII Honeywell Bull under contract by the Navy during 1977–1983.
		Ada was named after Ada Lovelace, who is often credited with being the first female computer programmer.
		Requests for proposals for a new programming language were issued and four contractors were hired to develop their proposals under the names of Red (Intermetrics led by Benjamin Brosgol), Green (CII Honeywell Bull, led by Jean Ichbiah), Blue (SofTech, led by John Goodenough), and Yellow (SRI International, led by Jay Spitzen).

		Ada is a structured, compiled, statically typed programming language, designed by Jean Ichbiah of Cii Honeywell Bull in the 1970s.
		Ada supports a limited form of region-based storage management which allows some cases of access to unallocated memory to be detected at compile time.
		The Ada language definition is unusual among International Organization for Standardization standards in that it is Free content.

	AdaCore - Home > Ada Answers > Ada Overview
		Ada is a modern programming language designed for large, long-lived applications - and embedded systems in particular - where reliability and efficiency are essential.
		The name “Ada” is not an acronym; it was chosen in honor of Augusta Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), a mathematician who is sometimes regarded as the world’s first programmer because of her work with Charles Babbage.
		Ada meets this requirement through a facility known as “generics”;; since the parameterization is done at compile time, run-time performance is not penalized.

	TAP: Ada Lovelace - ``Notes''
		Ada Lovelace's "Notes" on her translation of Menebrea's paper on Babbage's Analytical Engine were published in Taylor's Scientific Memoirs, which was more of a serious scientific publication.
		Ada translated what Menabrea wrote: RFor instance, the much-admired machine of Pascal is now simply an object of curiosity, which, whilst it displays the powerful intellect of its inventor, is yet of little utility in itself.
		Once Ada had made the distinction between numbers and the operations to be performed, it was not difficult for her to project further how the Analytical Engine would then be capable of giving two types of results; numerical and symbolic, (eg algebraic).

	Markus Kuhn’s Ada95 page (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Ada was originally developed in the early 1980s (now known as Ada83), but the Ada used today has been significantly improved by a second revision of the standard that was published in 1995.
		Ada was in the 1980s and early 1990s mostly ignored at universities, first of all because the available development tools where either of low quality or very expensive.
		Ada 95 Quality and Style Guide is highly recommended reading once you are fairly familiar with the features of the language and want to learn about the fine points of good Ada style.

	Ada 95
		Ada 95 consists of a core language that must be supported by all validated compilers, and a set of specialized needs annexes that may or may not be implemented by a specific compiler.
		Ada 95 also provides the flexibility for the programmer to specify the desired storage reclamation technique that is desired for the application.
		Ada 95 is essentially an upwardly-compatible extension to Ada 83 with improved support for embedded software systems, real-time systems, computationally-intensive systems, communication systems, and information systems [Lawlis 96].

	High Integrity Ada
		This section catalogues the language features in terms of the included, allowed and excluded categories together with specific guidance which is related to language features (and their interaction, of course).
		The ISO Ada group is fortunate in having access to a very detailed study undertaken in Canada on the application of Ada 95 for high integrity applications [2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
		As Ada provides the ability to detect and recover from the raising of an exception, the natural approach at the lower levels would be to allow for such an eventuality.

	The Ada Programming Language
		The Ada language is the result of the most extensive and most expensive language design effort ever undertaken.
		Based on these suggestions, a revised language design was published in February of 1980.

	Ada FAQ: comp.lang.ada (part 1 of 3)
		Ada does not allow the dangerous practices or effects of old languages, although it does provide standardized mechanisms to interface with other languages such as Fortran, Cobol, and C. Ada is recognized as an excellent vehicle for education in programming and software engineering, including for a first programming course.
		Ada is used in a very wide range of applications: banking, medical devices, telecommunications, air traffic control, airplanes, railroad signalling, satellites, rockets, etc. The latest version of this FAQ is always accessible through WWW as http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/FAQ/comp-lang-ada.html#title Maintenance This FAQ is maintained on an individual volunteer basis, by Magnus Kempe (Magnus.Kempe@di.epfl.ch).
		Ada is an advanced, modern programming language, designed and standardized to support widely recognized software engineering principles: reliability, portability, modularity, reusability, programming as a human activity, efficiency, maintainability, information hiding, abstract data types, concurrent programming, object-oriented programming, et caetera.

	Ada Programming - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
		Ada is a programming language named after Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, which is suitable for all development needs.
		Ada puts unique emphasis on, and provides strong support for, good software engineering practices that scale well to very large software systems (millions of lines of code, and very large development teams).
		Portability: the language definition allows compilers to differ only in a few controlled ways, and otherwise defines the semantics of programs very precisely; as a result, Ada source text is very portable across compilers and across target hardware platforms.

	Is Ada a better C? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Ada is inefficient - it used to be difficult to do low level programming (for example: pointers were not very flexible; and interfacing with other languages, such as assembler, was well nigh impossible) but once again, this is no longer the case.
		Ada was designed to have general purpose applicability and the only real worry is that the language dies leaving you with a huge amount of unsupportable code sometime in the future.
		Ada's import pragma supports a number of languages: the language specification determines some level of translation - for example, Fortran matrix variables are treated as row major instead of column major.

	Some information on the Ada programming language
		Ada is an internationally standardized, general-purpose programming language used in a wide variety of applications -- from missile control to payroll processing to air traffic control.
		Ada contains features commonly found in other programming languages and provides additional support for modern programming practices, for controlling special purpose hardware to meet real-time deadlines, and for the creation and enhancement of large and complex programs by groups of programmers over long periods of time.
		Ada organizes code into self-contained units that can be planned, written, compiled, and tested separately; this feature allows programs to be written in portions by teams working in parallel before being integrated into the final product.
