Authors are invited to submit papers on original research or relevant experience. We are also soliciting proposals for panel sessions, workshops, and tutorials. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: o economics of the software marketplace o empirical comparisons with other programming languages o use of Ada in multilingual environments (including the use of Ada for "glue code") o the use of Ada in software engineering, data structures, and introductory programming courses o experience with the transition from Ada 83 to Ada 95 o experience building Ada applications, and lessons learned, especially: - nonembedded applications, such as finance - Internet applications and applets - distributed objects that "plug and play" in desktop and network environments - safety-critical applications o novel programming paradigms o real-time design patterns o the use of Ada with particular software-engineering and project-management methods o object-oriented analysis, design and programming; object-oriented design patterns o experience with formal methods o Ada bindings to operating systems, subsystems, and applications o Ada application frameworks and component libraries o integrated development environments, application generators, and tool sets supporting Ada o Ada-95 compilation and run-time implementation techniques o implementation-defined enhancements to the standard predefined environment All accepted papers will be presented at the conference and will appear in the proceedings. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: Please e-mail an extended abstract, as either a plain ASCII or PostScript file, to the Program Chairman, Norman H. Cohen, ncohen@watson.ibm.com by 5pm EST on Friday, May 16, 1997. The abstract should clearly state the contribution of the work being described, its relationship with previous work by you and others (with bibliographic references), results to date, and future directions. Extended abstracts should not exceed 2500 words (equivalent to approximately 5 pages typeset 10-point on 16-point spacing). Excessively long abstracts will be rejected outright. Please indicate the title of the paper and the names and affiliations of authors. Identify one author as a point of contact and provide an e-mail address, postal address, phone number and fax number for this author. Please indicate whether a similar report on this work has been submitted elsewhere. Authors will be notified of acceptance by Monday, June 30, 1997. Final versions of full papers are due on Friday, August 15, 1997. Authors of accepted papers must sign an ACM copyright release form. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SUBMISSION OF PANEL SESSION PROPOSALS: A panel session gathers a group of experts on a particular topic who present their views and then exchange views with each other and the audience. To suggest a panel session, e-mail a proposal of approximately 500 words, outlining the proposed topic, moderator, and panelists, to the Program Chair, Norman H.

It provides a forum for a variety of knowledgeable professionals to explore issues, exchange views, and perhaps produce a report on a particular subject. A list of planned workshops and requirements for participation will be published in the Tri-Ada '97 Advance Program. To suggest a workshop, e-mail a proposal of approximately 500 words to the Tri-Ada '97 Program Chair, Norman H. Cohen, ncohen@watson.ibm.com. The proposal should state the problem or issue to be addressed, the coordinator(s), and criteria for participant selection. Workshop proposals will be evaluated by the Program Committee and selected based on their applicability to the conference and potential for attracting participants. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SUBMISSION OF TUTORIAL PROPOSALS: Half-day, full-day, and two-day tutorials offer the flexibility to address a multitude of topics designed for a novice, intermediate, or experienced audience. Consideration will be given to a broad spectrum of topics which are relevant to current software systems issues and the communities we a re trying to reach. Submissions will be evaluated based on relevance, suitability for presentation in tutorial format, presenter's expertise and past performance. Proposals should be two to three pages, and include the following: expected level of experience of participants; a tutorial abstract or outline; the expected benefit to the participants; the qualifications of the instructor(s); a list of previous presentations of the tutorial, if any; the length of the tutorial (half, full, or two-day); and the maximum number of participants desired. Electronic submissions are encouraged in the form of ASCII email to the Tri-Ada '97 Tutorial Chair, Maj. David A. Cook, dcook@lss.afit.af.mil; otherwise, mail six (6) copies of your submittal to: Maj David Cook, Deputy Dept. Head, Dept. of Software Engineering Air Force Institute of Technology AFIT/LSS, 2950 P.
