Hilt'12 tutorial overview / design of multitask software: the entity-life modeling approach

Abstract

The tutorial introduces entity-life modeling (ELM), a design approach for multitask, reactive software. It is not a multistep method but rather an extension of object orientation into the time dimension: The central idea is that the task architecture should reflect concurrency that exists in the problem. The tutorial uses Ada terminology and is illustrated with multiple Ada examples.
