NEW YORK & PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AdaCore today announced that Tucker Taft, the Director of Language Research at AdaCore, will present a paper, ‘Ada 2012- New Language Technology for High-Integrity Software,’ on Tuesday, September 18 as part of the Design East conference in Boston, MA. The paper will focus on the challenges of modern embedded software development, the need for so-called High-Integrity systems to meet safety and/or security requirements, including compliance with certification standards such as DO-178B/DO-178C or the Common Criteria, and the role that languages, like Ada 2012, can play to help simplify development and certification processes.
