Everything at AdaCore is centered around helping developers build safe, secure and reliable software. With over two decades of experience working with the most respected companies in industries such as aerospace, defense and railways, we build tools and provide services that ease the complex and often difficult process of developing high-integrity software. As the need for truly secure and reliable applications expands into industries such as automotive, medical, energy, and IoT, we’re excited to bring our time-tested technologies, expertise and services to help a whole new generation of developers.
Engineering angle: Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) to standardize interfaces.
What does MOSA look like in the Future Airborne Capability Environment™ (FACE)? It is about interoperability and reusability at the interface level, a component-based view of software.
Ada and Open Source
The Ada programming language and the Open Source software movement have been at the center of our business. While we continue to support an expanding list of languages, Ada, with its “think first, code later” methodology remains very much at the heart of our philosophy and approach.
AdaCore was also one of the pioneers of the Open Source movement back when the major benefits of Open Source software were not as well understood or accepted as they are today. Through contributions to platforms such as GitHub, AdaCore continue to embrace this collaborative and dynamic interaction with both our users and Open Source technologies.
AdaCore is a premium sponsor of the FACE™ and SOSA™ Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) held Sep. 21, 2020.
