The official convocation is distributed separately to members and is also available on the Ada-Belgium web-server. There will be refreshments and pizza for Ada-Belgium members at 18:15. Please notify us if you are a current or new member and intend to participate at this informal "pre-meeting". "An Invitation to Ada 2005" --------------------------- At 20:00 the General Assembly will be followed by a technical presentation plus Q&A, by Pascal Leroy from IBM France. Abstract Starting in 2000, the ISO technical group in charge of maintaining the Ada language has been looking into possible changes for the next revision of the standard, around 2005. Based on the input from the Ada community, it was felt that the revision was a great opportunity for further enhancing Ada by integrating new programming practices, e.g., in the OOP area; by providing new capabilities for embedded and high-reliability applications; and by remedying annoyances encountered during many years of usage of Ada 95. This led to the decision to make a substantive revision rather than a minor one. This talk will give a technical overview of the most important improvements that are currently under consideration for inclusion in Ada 2005. Speaker Pascal Leroy is a Senior Software Engineer with IBM France, and the chairman of the ISO Ada Rapporteur Group, the expert group in charge of revising and maintaining the Ada standard. He has more than 19 years of experience in Ada and has been involved in language design, in compiler and tool development and in consultancy with very large Ada projects, notably in the area of command and control systems. Pascal holds degrees from Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Nationale des T�l�communications in Paris, France. More information The Ada Issues Database of the Ada Rapporteur Group is available on the Ada Conformity Assessment Authority's web site at http://www.ada-auth.org/.

As mentioned at earlier occasions, we have a limited stock of documentation sets and Ada related CD-ROMs that were distributed freely at previous events. Most important are copies of the "Ada and Software Engineering" double CD-ROM (ASE2), which was handed out at the Ada-Europe'2001 conference in Leuven and is also on-line in the Ada-Belgium archive. These sets will be available on a first-come first-serve basis at the General Assembly for current and new members. Please inform me via e-mail if you are interested in receiving the free documentation sets or CD-ROMs, so I can bring enough copies with me.
