CNF: Ada UK User Group Autumn conference - last call for delegates

[John Robinson]

The joint Ada UK User Group & Embedded Systems Club Autumn conference is
being held in Swindon, UK on Tuesday 29th October 2002.

Late bookings are still being taken at http://www.AdaUK.org.uk for this low
cost conference and exhibition, which has already attracted over 110
attendees.

The conference features 2 streams of 22 sessions, including several sessions
designed to give delegates the opportunity to play an active role in the
conference. For example, Silver Software will be facilitating a session
exploring the trials and tribulations of recruiting and retaining Ada
software engineers while ARTiSAN, Kennedy Carter and others will be
examining the potential for a standardised Ada-UML Profile.

Two tutorials on "Test-First Design" (Kevlin Henney, Curbralan) and
"Principles of High Availability Embedded Systems Design" (David Kalinsky,
OSE) provide a training element to the event, while technical presentations
by Praxis, ADI, IPL, ACT Europe, Programming Research and I-Logix help to
make this a conference with significant technical content.

The exhibition has attracted key players in the Ada and embedded systems
markets including Wind River, Vsystems, Telelogic, Silver Software,
Programming Research, Praxis, PolySpace, OSE, Objektum, LDRA, Kennedy
Carter, John Robinson & Associates, IPL, I-Logix, Headway Software, Green
Hills Software, First Matrix, ARTiSAN and Aonix.

At the exhibition a number of product vendors will announce and demonstrate
new products and/or significant product upgrades, including IPL (Testing)
and Telelogic (UML). A number of product announcements will be of particular
interest to Ada users. Ada-related product announcements will be made by
Rational Software, Headway Software, PolySpace Technologies, First Matrix
and OSE.

Both Headway Software and Polyspace Technologies are new to the Ada market,
challenging the widespread misconception that the Ada market has stagnated.

The mix of exhibitors, sponsors, speakers and delegates attracted to this
event represent a wide spread of interests across the embedded systems
industry. You can still join us, by registering via our websites:
