Ada-Belgium is a non-profit volunteer organization whose purpose is to
promote the use in Belgium of the Ada programming language, the first
ISO standardized object-oriented language.

We are pleased to remind you that on Friday, November 28, 1997,
Ada-Belgium organizes its 7th Annual Seminar at the premises of Trasys
in Brussels.

Ada-Belgium'97 offers the software professional in or near Belgium an
ideal opportunity to experience some of the excitement felt at the very
interesting Tri-Ada'97 conference organized by ACM SIGAda in St. Louis
last week, and to hear presentations from an international group of
speakers on the important topic of Distribution and Interoperability.
If you couldn't attend Tri-Ada'97, you should attend Ada-Belgium'97.


Highlights
----------

  * Theme of Ada-Belgium'97 is "Developing Distributed Applications".
    The seminar features a tutorial, technical and project
    presentations, plus short product presentations.

  * Several approaches to develop distributed applications will be
    presented (CORBA, DCE, Ada Distributed Systems Annex, etc.) as
    well as practical experiences and available products, with special
    emphasis on the role of Ada 95.

  * Free Ada-related material will be distributed, a.o. printed copies
    of the CORBA IDL to Ada 95 mapping document, the new Walnut Creek
    double CD-ROM (the November 1997 release is a special edition for
    Tri-Ada'97 and Ada-Belgium'97), and the Discovering Ada CD-ROM (a
    multimedia CD-ROM of Ada training).

Updated extracts from the Call for Participation are appended below:
  * full programme,
  * info on free Ada CD-ROMs and documentation to be handed out,
  * location of the seminar,
  * participation fee,
  * seminar secretariat.
Registration forms are also appended.

More information is available at the Ada-Belgium'97 Home Page via URL
   http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~dirk/ada-belgium/events/local.html
(abstracts of the talks, short biography of the speakers, information
on their company or organization).

The annual Ada-Belgium Seminar is an event not to be missed!
Do not delay to register!
(And be sure to request your FREE copies of the Ada CD-ROMs.)

Looking forward to meet many of you in Brussels.

PS: All presentations are in English. Everyone interested is welcome.

Free Ada CD-ROMs

Copies of the new 14th Edition of the Walnut Creek Ada CD-ROM set,
bought by Ada-Belgium through an agreement with the Special Interest
Group on Ada of the ACM (ACM SIGAda), will be freely distributed to
the first registered participants, up to the amount available. (Last
year we could satisfy all demands.)  This CD-ROM set includes a.o. ports
to lots of platforms of the GNU Ada 95 compiler (GNAT) and Aonix' Ada 95
Compiler and Environment for Windows 95.  More information on this
special CD-ROM edition for Ada-Belgium'97 is available on our Web-pages.

Through an agreement with the Ada Joint Program Office (AJPO), copies
of the Discovering Ada CD-ROM will also be freely distributed (November
1996 Edition).  This multimedia CD-ROM of Ada training covers all the
basic points of Ada 95 through interactive lessons and voice-overs.
It also includes positive testimonials on the benefits of Ada 95 from
people who have used it.  And last but not least, it contains new
material about using Ada 95 and AppletMagic (Intermetrics' Ada
95-to-Java byte-code compiler) to create Java-compatible applets.

As a last-minute surprise we might even have a third free CD-ROM for all
of you!  (If international delivery happens in time.)
