                            Call for Papers
                              Using Ada (R):
     1987 ACM SIGAda International Conference on the Ada Programming Language

                          December 9 - 11, 1987
                          Sheraton Boston Hotel
                           Boston, Mass.  USA

    The theme  of the  conference will be the techniques of using Ada for large
    systems.   Papers will  address the  practical side  of use  and relate  to
    working examples  of the  use of  Ada  as  it  differs  from  and  provides
    advantages over other languages.

    The conference will be held in conjunction with Ada Expo '87.

    Contributions are sought in areas including the following:

      *  Costing  and  estimating  with  systems  for  which  Ada  is  markedly
        different
      *  Design with Ada-oriented PDL
      *  Configuration control and other life-cycle issues
      *  Techniques for reusability and operational taxonomies for finding code
      *  Unique Ada techniques for specific application areas
      *  Secondary standards  and interfaces  (graphics,  database,  etc.)  and
        their use
      *  Maintenance of Ada systems
      *  Tools and environments that facilitate Ada project development
      *  Techniques for building real-time systems in Ada

    Extended abstracts  (5 pages  maximum length)  must be sent in 12 copies to
    the program chair, W. Whitaker, by June 1, 1987.  Camera-ready copy will be
