Conference Announcement - SIGAda 2003

7-11 December 2003, San Diego, California, USA

Sponsored by ACM SIGAda

The SIGAda 2003 conference offers a top-quality technical program
focused on important strengths of the Ada programming language. Three
days of technical papers, keynotes, and invited presentations will
report on how Ada is achieving success in the challenging realm of
software engineering. We are fortunate to have four leaders in the
software engineering community; Ben Brosgol, Joyce Tokar, David A.
Wheeler, and Steve Grimaldi (tentative) will provide keynote addresses
to set the tone for our conference. We are also fortunate to have Jim
Moore, Tullio Vardanega, and Pascal Leroy provide a special discussion
of the work of the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 WG9 on Wednesday afternoon. The
WG9 Forum will give you an opportunity to find out how Ada will evolve
to meet our future requirements and at the same time give you an
opportunity to provide input to its future.

Beyond the formal conference of selected papers and presentations,
SIGAda 2003 offers workshops and tutorials with the same duality of
on-theme and complementary topics. SIGAda's tutorials and workshops
provide full- or half-days for those working the same issues to share
with each other and leverage everyone's accomplishments; workshop
products are "delivered" to the community. The broad offerings of
career-enhancing tutorials include basic Ada 95 introductions for
software engineers new to Ada, intermediate and advanced Ada topics
for practitioners striving to expand their Ada expertise, and several
language-independent technology topics. Join us in understanding how
these topics mutually support the disciplined development and
evolution of serious, high quality software systems.
