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. *** Contacts The conference is organized by Ada Language UK Ltd in collaboration with the Safety Critical Systems Club.
