A previous paper compared the mechanisms for process communication in Hoare's communicating sequential processes and in Brinch Hansen's distributed processes, by both qualitative and quantitative analyses. This paper extends these analyses to the corresponding features for communication between tasks in Ada. The similarity between Ada's features and Hoare's proposals is confirmed, but some limitations on non‐determinism in Ada are noted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
