Gaia: an object-oriented framework for an Ada environment

Gaia is a framework that provides the basis for the high degree of integration required by Ada environments that will involve complex data structures, toolsets, and development processes. This framework is implemented in Ada and provides an object model for representing the complex structure of data entities as well as the complex tools that can be applied to those entities within an Ada environment. The framework provides a common set of machine-independent interfaces supporting the integration of new and existing tools without modification. It also provides users with object-oriented guidance in selecting objects and applying tools.<
