[Laura Veith]

The Annual National Conference on Ada Technology (ANCOAT) is proud to
announce the Tenth Annual National Conference on Ada Technology.
During this year's conference, we will be celebrating 10 years
of bringing quality conferences to the Ada Software Engineering
community.


We are proud to announce that Grady Booch, Director of Object-Oriented
Products at Rational, will be the keynote speaker.  Mr. Booch is an
authority on object-oriented methodology and the author of the book,
"Object-Oriented Design with Applications."  He was a Distinguished
Reviewer for the Ada 9X program.

                ANCOAT Wants To Inform You In '92!


Conference Dates: 24-27 Feb., 1992
                  Hyatt Regency - Crystal City  Arlington, VA

Ada no longer prompts the concern it used to for software development.  Use
of Ada is the rule in Dept of Defense software systems.  Its use is rapidly
spreading to commercial applications.  There are more tools and environments
to support Ada than any other programming language.  Software developers in the
90s face entirely different challenges.  Operations Desert Shield and Desert
Storm have stress tested systems, redefined requirements and priorities,
and demonstrated the benefits of modern software engineering.  Already lean
budgets have been trimmed even further to offset the costs of war and
trade imbalances.  Technology continues to produce new solutions faster than
they can be incorporated.  1992 marks the 10th anniversary of the Annual
National Conference on Ada Technology.  Join us as we take this occasion to
examine the context in which software is developed today and to recognize
contributions to Ada's success.

Listed below are topics on which papers are invited.
