                      CALL FOR PAPERS



Following the success of previous  Workshops,  it  has  been
decided to hold a Fourth Workshop next year.


The Workshop will be held  at  the  Pitlochry  Hydro  Hotel,
Pitlochry,  Scotland from 16th - 20th July 1990.  Attendance
will be on a similar basis to previously - that is around 35
participants  selected  according  to qualifications as evi-
denced by a short position paper not exceeding six pages  of
normal text plus a brief note on current interests and back-
ground.


The goals of the Workshop will have both short term and long
term aspects such as:

o    to explore further  some  of  the  longer  term  issues
     analysed  at previous workshops which were Distribution
     and Fault  Tolerance,  Scheduling,  Time,  Asynchronous
     Transfer of Control and Communications,

o    to review relevant Ada 9X requirements  which  will  by
     then  have  been  consolidated and to develop proposals
     for solutions,

o    to develop codes of practice covering areas not requir-
     ing specific language changes,

o    to consider needs for secondary standards.

The physical paper copies of position papers  and  notes  on
personal  background  should be sent to the address below to
arrive no later than 29th January  1990.   Submitted  papers
should be in a form suitable for publication.

Real-time Ada Workshop

    6th International Real Time Ada Workshop (IRTAW-VI)

                   CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                 Ravenscar, Yorkshire, U.K.

                    Early September 1992



The series  of  international  workshops  on  real-time  Ada
issues   have  been  influential  in  both  identifying  the
limitation of Ada  83  for  real-time  programming,  and  in
defining the real-time requirements for Ada 9X.  Ada 9X will
be fully defined in the next few months, and it is essential
that  there is a smooth transition to the new language.  The
6th workshop in this series will focus on those issues which
have  been  identified as being critically important to this
transition These include:

o    Paradigms for using Ada 9X.

o    Implementation problems/experiences.

o    Technical transition issues.

o    Real-time POSIX and Ada 9X

o    Formal Methods and Real-time

o    Design Methods

Participation  in  the  workshop  is  by  invitation   only.
Attendance  will  be  limited  to 35-40 people, and selected
from the submission of

a)   a 6-10 page position paper on topics  relevant  to  the
     above issues, or

b)   a summary of their relevant experiences with Ada 83.

Send 10 copies to

        Dr. A Burns
        Department of Computer Science
        University of York
        Heslington
