          CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION
          
          Ada : Experiences and Prospects
          
          12-14 June 1990                  Dublin, Ireland
          
          
          
          The year  1990 marks  the start of a new decade and the end of 
          one in which  the Ada  language came  of age,  in  terms  of  use  
          and acceptability. What  better time  to reflect on the 
          experiences of Ada users  throughout that  time and  to look to 
          the future in the light of that experience.
          
          Also, this  is a crucial phase of Ada's life in which the 
          standard is being  evaluated and  changes to  it are being 
          proposed through the 9X  process, the  outcome of which will 
          determine the shape of Ada through to the next century. This 
          conference will fall mid-way through the  9X programme, and will 
          be a good forum for discussion of topical issues.
          
          Papers are  sought describing,  in  particular,  experiences  
          with using Ada within projects throughout their life cycle, so 
          that the impact of  Ada can  be assessed.  Of special  interest 
          is feedback about the  maintenance and  enhancement phases of Ada 
          projects and products. Does Ada stand up to its claims, 
          especially with respect to  quality?  Papers  should  address  
          what  was  predicted,  what actually happened and what should be 
          done in future.
          
          The main  theme of  the conference  is the impact of technical 
          and management issues in the software engineering economics of 
          Ada, as well as technology transfer and training.
          
          Authors are invited to prepare an extended abstract (4-6 pages)
