Abstract

This paper describes an implementation of Linda for Ada 95. The new capabilities of object oriented programming and programming by extension are used to define an elegant, type safe and easy to use interface to Linda. The implementation provides more of the functionality of Linda than Ada-Linda for Ada 83. A short presentation of the Linda model and a programming example are also included.
