- GRACE is a library of production-ready reusable Ada software components,
- provided in source code form. These components were developed by EVB
- Software Engineering. GRACE stands for Generic Reusable Ada Components
- for Engineering. These components consist of 23 families of abstractions (such
- as Stack, Doubly-Linked-List, B-Tree, Binary_Search_Tree, etc.) in multiple
- forms. The forms address time and space issues. For example, switching from
- a Bounded_Stack designed to run in a sequential environment (no tasking) to
- an Unbounded_Stack designed to run in a multi-processor tasking environment can
- be done by changing a few lines of code. This allows an implementation to
- choose the proper form of the abstraction to address current needs allowing
- future requirements to be met.
