Exhibit contact information ******************************************************************************* TRI-Ada '92 GOVERNMENT * INDUSTRY * ACADEMIA Sponsored by ACM SIGAda ADVANCE CALL FOR PARTICIPATION TRI-Ada '92 Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida November 16-20, 1992 Ada: Meeting the Challenges of Tomorrow Today Over the last decade Ada has been used over a wide range of application areas. The language has been both widely acclaimed and severely criticized. Many of the criticisms have been acted on by the Ada community and this is resulting in a revision of the language. The Ada 9X mapping is now nearly complete and the Ada language is about to enter a new era. However, a great deal still needs to be achieved if Ada is to continue to expand its influence throughout the computing industry. TRI-Ada '91 is now organized and will take place in San Jose, California on October 21-25, 1991. Already preparations are being made for next year's conference. The TRI-Ada '92 conference program will consist of contributed papers, invited lectures, panels, reports on practical experience, and tutorials. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS AND PANELS Possible paper and panel discussion topics include, but are by no means limited to: * The role of Ada in constructing safety critical systems, fault tolerant distributed systems, and real-time embedded systems * Ada bindings to other standards (POSIX, GKS, SQL, X Window, etc.) * The use of Ada for general purpose application programming * Comparison with other languages (e.g., C++) * Appropriate formal and structured design methods for Ada * Early experiences with Ada 9X, guidelines for its use, compiler and run-time implementation issues * Managing any aspect of the transition from Ada 83 to Ada 9X There will be an award made to the best student paper submitted. This will include a financial contribution (up to a maximum of $3000) towards the cost of attending the conference. Six copies of full papers (12 pages or less), or abstracts outlining proposed panel sessions, should be mailed to the Program or Conference Chair.
