WADAS Call for Participation

[Michele L. Kee (AdaIC)]

                            CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
                     11th Annual Washington Ada Symposium

Since its inception in 1984, the Washington Ada Symposium (WAdaS)
has gained a reputation as an important technical conferences on
Ada and software engineering. 


FOCUS ON APPLICATIONS

In the last 10 years, Ada use has spread across domains as diverse
as finance and command and control, and expanded out from the DOD
into NASA, FAA, and the aerospace industry.  The Ada community has
led in the application of software engineering to large systems,
object-oriented analysis and design, reuse-based architectures, and
formal development methods.

WAdaS '94 will spotlight the real application experience gathered
in our community over the last decade -- especially in the
development of large, complex systems.  

      Has Ada successfully served its intended community?  

      How will Ada 9X effect the various application areas?

      What is the potential for the expansion of Ada into new areas? 

We invite anyone interested in Ada and software engineering to come
to WAdaS '94 and decide for themselves how to answer these
questions.

WAdaS '94 will be held jointly with the 1994 Summer SIGAda Meeting,
where recent accomplishments of SIGAda working groups and
committees will be highlighted.  A number of working group meetings
will be held throughout the conference; several working groups will
report their results during the technical program.  This inside
look at the wide range of work in the Ada community complements the
application focus of the WAdaS '94 theme.
