Please think for a moment what others might learn from the experience gained in those projects, and get a presentation overview submitted by January 13th, i.e. 4 weeks from now. Many projects could report a lot of valuable experience: sharing it with others benefits the whole community and might provide useful feedback to the project as well. We're looking forward to receive many interesting presentations. Dirk Craeynest, Ada-Europe'2008 Publicity Chair ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd Call for Industrial Presentations 13th International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies - Ada-Europe 2008 16 - 20 June 2008, Venice, Italy http://www.ada-europe.org/conference2008.html Organized by Ada-Europe, in cooperation with ACM SIGAda (approval pending) *** DEADLINE Sunday 13 JANUARY 2008 *** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- General Information ------------------- The 13th International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies (Ada-Europe 2008) will take place in Venice, Italy. Following its traditional style, the conference will span a full week, including a three-day technical program and vendor exhibitions from Tuesday to Thursday, along with parallel tutorials and workshops on Monday and Friday. Call for Industrial Presentations --------------------------------- In addition to the usual call for papers, the conference also seeks industrial presentations which may have value and insight, but do not fit the selection process for regular papers. Schedule -------- 13 January 2008: Submission of industrial presentation proposals 03 February 2008: Notification to all authors 11 May 2008: Industrial presentation material required 16-20 June 2008: Conference Submission of Presentations --------------------------- Authors of industrial presentations are invited to submit a short overview (at least 1 page in size) of the proposed presentation to the Conference Chair by 13 January 2008. The Industrial Program Committee will review the proposals and make the selection. The authors of selected presentations shall prepare a final short abstract and submit it to the Conference Chair by 11 May 2008, aiming at a 20-minute talk. The authors of accepted presentations will be invited to derive articles from them for publication in the Ada User Journal, which will host the proceedings of the Industrial Program of the Conference. Call for Exhibitions -------------------- Commercial exhibitions will span the three days of the main conference. Vendors and providers of software products and services should contact the Exhibition Chair for information and for allowing suitable planning of the exhibition space and time. Conference Topics ----------------- The conference has successfully established itself as an international forum for providers, practitioners and researchers into reliable software technologies. The conference presentations will illustrate current work in the theory and practice of the design, development and maintenance of long-lived, high-quality software systems for a variety of application domains. The program will allow ample time for keynotes, Q&A sessions, panel discussions and social events. Participants will include practitioners and researchers in representation from industry, academia and government organizations active in the promotion and development of reliable software technologies. Prospective contributions should address the topics of interest to the conference, which include but are not limited to those listed below: - Methods and Techniques for Software Development and Maintenance: Requirements Engineering, Object-Oriented Technologies, Model-driven Architecture and Engineering, Formal Methods, Re-engineering and Reverse Engineering, Reuse, Software Management Issues - Software Architectures: Design Patterns, Frameworks, Architecture- Centered Development, Component and Class Libraries, Component-based Design - Enabling Technology: Software Development Environments and Project Browsers, Compilers, Debuggers, Run-time Systems, Middleware Components - Software Quality: Quality Management and Assurance, Risk Analysis, Program Analysis, Verification, Validation, Testing of Software Systems - Theory and Practice of High-integrity Systems: Real-Time, Distribution, Fault Tolerance, Security, Reliability, Trust and Safety - Mainstream and Emerging Applications: Multimedia and Communications, Manufacturing, Robotics, Avionics, Space, Health Care, Transportation - Ada Language and Technology: Programming Techniques, Object-Orientation, Concurrent and Distributed Programming, Evaluation & Comparative Assessments, Critical Review of Language Features and Enhancements, Novel Support Technology, HW/SW Platforms - Experience Reports: Case Studies and Comparative Assessments, Management Approaches, Qualitative and Quantitative Metrics - Ada and Education: Where does Ada stand in the software engineering curriculum; how learning Ada serves the curriculum; what it takes to form a fluent Ada user; lessons learned on Education and Training Activities with bearing on any of the conference topics. Awards ------ Ada-Europe will offer honorary awards for the best regular paper and the best presentation.
