ADA UK 15th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
Topic: Ada
The 1988 Ada UK conference will be held at the Marriott Hotel, Bristol on
19-22 October 1998.
For full details of call for papers see the conference web page
http://www.adauk.org.uk/conf/default.htm
The conference will cover the usual aspects of good software
engineering practices but will especially address two themes related
to problems of coping with change. Change is easier to control if
components and interfaces are kept stable by using recognized
standards such as Ada. This conference specifically addresses two
themes where software stability really matters.
