Abstract

<pre>Reliability, safety, and security are among the most critical requirements of contemporary software. The application of software engineering methods, tools, and languages all interrelate to affect how and whether these requirements are met. Such software is in operation in many domains of application. Much has been accomplished in recent years, but much remains to be done. Our tools, methods, and languages must be continually refined; our management process must remain focused on the importance of reliability, safety, and security; our educational institutions must fully integrate these concerns into their curricula. The conference will gather industrial and government experts, educators, software engineers, and researchers interested in developing, analyzing, and certifying reliable, safe, secure software. We are soliciting technical papers and experience reports with a focus on, or comparison with, Ada. The conference is especially interested in experience in integrating these concepts into the instructional process at all levels. TECHNICAL ARTICLES present significant results in research, practice, or education. Articles are typically 10–20 pages in length. These papers will be double–blind refereed and published in the Conference Proceedings and in ACM Ada Letters. The Proceedings will be entered into the widely–consulted ACM Digital Library accessible online to university campuses, ACM′s 80,000 members, and the software community. EXTENDED ABSTRACTS discuss current work for which early submission of a full paper may be premature. If your abstract is accepted, you will be expected to produce a full paper, which will appear in the proceedings. Extended abstracts will be double–blind refereed. In 5 pages or less, clearly state the works contribution, its relationship with previous work by you and others (with bibliographic references), results to date, and future directions. EXPERIENCE REPORTS present timely results on the application of Ada and related technologies. Submit a 1–2 page description of the project and the key points of interest of project experiences. Descriptions will be published in the final program or proceedings, but a paper will not be required. PANEL SESSIONS gather a group of experts on a particular topic who present their views and then exchange views with each other and the audience. Panel proposals should be 1–2 pages in length, identifying the topic, coordinator, and potential panelists. WORKSHOPS are focused work sessions, which provide a forum for knowledgeable professionals to explore issues, exchange views, and perhaps produce a report on a particular subject. A list of planned workshops and requirements for participation will be published in the Advance Program. Workshop proposals, up to 5 pages in length, will be selected by the Program Committee based on their applicability to the conference and potential for attracting participants. TUTORIALS offer the flexibility to address a broad spectrum of topics relevant to Ada, and those enabling technologies which make the engineering of Ada applications more effective. Submissions will be evaluated based on relevance, suitability for presentation in tutorial format, and presenters expertise. Tutorial proposals should include the expected level of experience of participants, an abstract or outline, the qualifications of the instructor(s), and the length of the tutorial (half–day or full–day). Tutorial presenters receive complimentary registration to the other tutorials and the conference.</pre>
