Message-ID: <8906302232.AA10688@cf.sei.cmu.edu> (raw)
In order to supplement the currently configured 3 track TRI-Ada 89 program,
(reminder: TRI-Ada 89 is OCTOBER 23-26, 1989 in PITTSBURGH, Pa) with
additional information from actual programs, we would like to create a 4th
program track consisting of UNREFEREED 1.5 hr presentations/discussions that
will run in parallel to the referreed session(s). Lt Col Rick Gross, USAF,
has volunteered to head this effort.
This track is aimed at providing detailed lessons learned and application
domain considerations for those about to embark on new projects requiring
Ada.
The call for abstracts for this special track follows. Projects (both
contractors and government program offices) interested in participating
should contact Lt Col Gross as soon as possible.
