Abstract
The current proposal for the next revision of the Ada language considers the possibility to map the language parallel features to an underlying OpenMP runtime. As previously presented, and discussed in previous workshops, the works on fine-grain parallelism in Ada map well to the OpenMP tasking model for parallelism. Nevertheless, and although the general model of integration, and the semantic constructs are already reflected in the proposed revision of the standard, the integration of these new features with the Real-Time Systems Annex of Ada is still not complete. This paper presents an overview of what is supported and the still open issues.

Abstract
Developing real-time systems applications requires programming paradigms that can handle the specification of concurrent activities and timing constraints, and controlling execution on a particular platform. The increasing need for high-performance, and the use of fine-grained parallel execution, makes this an even more challenging task. This paper explores the state-of-the-art and challenges in real-time parallel application development, focusing on two research directions: one from the high- performance domain (using OpenMP) and another from the real-time and critical systems field (based on Ada). The paper reviews the features of each approach and highlights remaining open issues.
