Abstract

A real-time operating system, the Ada Avionics Real-Time Software (AARTS) Operating System (AOS), is discussed, which under development for the US Air Force. The AOS is intended to mitigate problems with Ada executing in real time on 16-bit data processors in a distributed architecture configuration. The AOS consists of a three part executive: system executive, kernel executive, and distributive executive. Each is described along with AOS operation and system functions
