With the Ada language standard scheduled for its first review in 1988, this is the time to take a hard look at the current state of Ada-related experience and research and to map out future directions. Contributions are encouraged on practical experiences of the benefits (and limitations) of using Ada, as well as research into technology to support software development today and into the future. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: STATE OF THE PRACTICE: Techniques used today in Ada applications and the lessons learned from these efforts. -- Productivity: Hard data from real-world experience -- Applications: Government, Industry, Commercial, Embedded systems -- Project management: Organization, Estimation, Metrics -- Compiler technology: Validation, optimization, tasking -- Education and training -- Reliability and portability STATE OF THE ART: Powerful methods for engineering with Ada today and into the future. -- Methodologies: Object-oriented, Process-oriented, Automated -- Language Issues: LRM updates, Ada as a notation -- Reusability: Building a reusable component industry -- Support Environments: Development, APSE, CAIS, Run-time system -- Distributed Systems: Tasking, Interoperability -- Ada and Artificial Intelligence SUBMISSIONS Authors should submit four copies of an extended abstract of three to five pages. The first page of the abstract should include the title, name(s) of the author(s) and the address and telephone number of the primary author. The deadlines are: Abstracts submitted by: November 1, 1987 Notification of acceptance by: February 1, 1988 Final papers due by: April 15, 1988 Please send abstracts to: Ed Seidewitz 1988 Washington Ada Symposium Code 554.1 Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt MD 20771 (301) 286-7631 BEST PAPER AWARD An award will be presented at the conference for the best paper. This award will be based upon the final written paper submitted for inclusion in the proceedings and on the presentation made at the conference.
