Dear SIGAda-Announce:
As you know, we will be having the SIGAda 2000 Conference from 12-16
November 2000 at Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory. We
really do have an excellent program representing excellent opportunities
for folks to enhance their professional goals. Since you are members of
SIGAda, I know you already realize this.
What I hope you can do is to contact your friends and let them know
about the conference. Many of your friends have already received a
conference Advance Program and simply need a little nudge to actually
sign up for the conference. You need to emphasize the value of attending
the conference for not only the conference, tutorials, and workshops,
but also the opportunity to network and interface with Ada and software
engineering professionals. We do have a powerful lineup, which should be
of benefit to a large number of those developing software. The SIGAda
Conference actually brings together people addressing real issues for
developing real-time distributed software that has significant
reliability and high-integrity requirements. This is one of the very few
conferences where you can find this expertise.
This is a great time to contact all your friends and let them know about
the conference. Tell them about the Advance Program (AP) they can get
at:
http://www.acm.org/sigada/conf/sigada2000/sa2kap.pdf
David Harrison has nicely updated the AP to reflect the current
information. Also tell them about the about the conference web site at:
http://www.acm.org/sigada/conf/sigada2000/
which contains abstracts for all the papers (at least the ones we have)
and all the information one needs to plan to come to the conference.
We really do have an excellent program which represents excellent
opportunities for folks to enhance their professional goals. You need to
emphasize this.
Send emails out to your friends and colleagues. A copy of an electronic
blurb is attached for your convenience.
[...]
Thank you in advance for all your help!

ACM SIGAda 2000
Annual International Conference
on the Ada Programming Language
Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory
Laurel, Maryland, November 12-16, 2000

Learn from the world's top Ada technologists why Ada is the language
of choice worldwide for the most important safety-critical and
high-reliability systems.
The SIGAda 2000 Conference will be a special technology update
on Ada and the related technologies enabling Ada to be successful
where reliable software matters. Ada has been a key development
language in real-time and distributed systems for defense, space,
aeronautics, ground transportation, air transportation, industrial
process control, sensor processing, communications, and scientific
research. A new wave of exciting and promising Ada developments
has appeared in the last few years. The purpose of this conference
is to cover and explain such developments.
The conference will feature a series of invited presentations by
leading subject matter experts, in-depth tutorials covering a variety
of topics of interest to all software engineering practitioners,
an exhibition featuring the leading Ada vendors, and several focused
workshops.
Tutorials cover a broad range of topics of interest to all software
engineering practitioners, including
* An Introduction to Ada 95
* Software Architecture
* High Integrity Programming
* Real-Time Programming
* Design Patterns
* CORBA
* Java
* Software Development Tools
* Process Improvement
* Cleanroom Software Engineering
* Windows Programming

The SIGAda2000 Conference Committee is seeking Workshop proposals and Birds of a Feather (BOF) proposals for the conference to be held from November 12 - 16, 2000 at Applied Physics Laboratory/Johns Hopkins University, Columbia MD. The Workshops have focused objective and result in a report to be published in the ACM Ada Newsletter. Currently we have 3 workshops planned. We can easily accommodate several more. If you would like to propose a Workshop or BOF, please contact the Workshop Chair Dr. Alok Srivastava by email at Alok.Ctr.Srivastava@FAA.Gov or by telephone at 202-314-1419. The details of the conference are available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigada/conf/sigada2000/ Thank you Alok Srivastava SIGAda 2000 Workshop Chair

We are looking for places to go for field trips to learn more > about Ada or CS. If any of you have any suggestions for conferences or > businesses that we could visit [...] Great idea! Many seniors are only thinking about "beach week." :-) You definitely want to come to SIGAda 2000. It's going to be held Nov. 12-16 at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab near Laurel, MD. This year the theme is to showcase Ada's "Best and Brightest." The program is being finalized now FMI see, http://www.acm.org/sigada/conf/sigada2000/ If you check in about two weeks the list of tutorials and speakers should be available. The conference home page also has links for registration "grants" for educators and student volunteer opportunities. You also want to visit the Washington, Baltimore, and northern Virginia areas if you're interested in working in the software industry after your tour in the Army. Organizations like NASA, FAA, DoD, NSA, and many other federal agencies nearby make this a good area for software professionals (all programming languages & disciplines). Northern VA is IMO the "hub" of the internet and home to companies like UUNet, Internic, & AOL. The area is also home of many Ada professionals and two SIGAda chapters (DC & Baltimore), see our links on the conference home page above.
