Ada 95 is now an ISO standard and validated compilers are beginning to emerge. The availability of both commercial and public domain compilers means that Ada 95 is now capable of reaching a wide selection of the real-time community. The goals of the 8th IRTAW are to: o examine and develop paradigms for using Ada 95 for real-time single processor, multiprocess and distri- buted systems (including issues of hard and flexible scheduling). o consider reports on experiences with using Ada 95 on actual real-time projects. o identify the benefits and impacts of using object- oriented programming in multi tasking (potentially dis- tributed) real-time systems. o explore the use of Ada 95 in developing multi-tasking components which are resilient to software design errors and hardware failures. o develop criteria for the use of Ada 95 in safety criti- cal systems. o understand the important aspects of implementing Ada 95 run-time support systems for the Safety Critical Sys- tems, Systems Programming, Real-Time and Distributed Systems Annexes. Participation at the Workshop is by invitation following the submission of a Position Paper addressing one or more of the above topics. Position papers should be between five and ten pages. All accepted papers will appear in the Workshop Proceedings which will be published as a special edition of Ada Letters. Five copies of Position Papers should be sent to: Dr A.J. Wellings Department of Computer Science University of York Heslington York, YO1 5DD U.K. Alternatively, email a postscript version of the paper to Andy Wellings (andy@minster.york.ac.uk). Workshop Committee: Ted Baker, John Barnes, Alan Burns, Jorge Diaz Herrera, Anthony Gargaro, Mike Kamrad, Doug Locke, Offer Pazy, Juan de la Puente, Tullio Vardanega, Dick Volz, Andy Wellings.
