Abstract
Modern large real-time systems are becoming more complex. Whilst Ada 2005 provides a comprehensive set of programming mechanisms that allow these systems to be implemented, the abstractions are low level. This paper argues that there is a need for a standardised library of real-time utilities that address common real-time problems. The paper presents some initial considerations on what could be in such a library and how it could be structured.
