This allows everyone to take advantage of the lower rates during the time that the government is working under a Continuing Resolution (CR) for appropriations. Note that current policy regarding a Continuing Resolution does not prohibit attendance at conference tutorials, workshops, and sessions which are directly related and relevant to current duties and responsibilities of software engineers, information technology specialists, IT security engineers, managers, etc. Such attendance is justified and can currently be funded by the federal government. The SIGAda 2007 conference falls under this policy. As the SIGAda 2007 conference is scheduled shortly after the government's new fiscal year, we encourage all federal government employees and contractors to take this opportunity to attend and register using the early registration rates, now extended through November 1st to everyone. More information is available on our website at http://www.sigada.org/conf/sigada2007/ SIGAda 2007 includes Tutorials on Exposing Ada Web Services Using a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Ada 2005, Security by Construction, and Languages for Safety-Critical Software: Issues and Assessment DO178/DO278. It also includes Technical Papers such as High Assurance Profile for CORBA, Neural Networks, and SPARK Ada. Exhibitors are Lockheed Martin, AdaCore, OC Systems, Praxis, Northrop Grumman, Telelogic, Genco Systems, ARTiSAN Software, Ellidiss Software, Aonix, and Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc. The workshops include a Two-Day Summit on Software Analysis sponsored by NIST and the Department of Homeland Security. All the Workshops are free with a minimum one-day conference registration. The conference will have a grand Banquet on Tuesday evening with outstanding Ethnic Cultural Performances. As a recent note of interest to the Ada community, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has just announced Government Acceptance of a multi billion dollar Ada based core Air Traffic Control System developed on budget and ahead of schedule (see http://www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_story.cfm?newsId=7714 for details).
