Conference announcements

Announcement

Ada-Belgium will hold its tenth annual General Assembly on Tuesday, February 25, 2003, at the U.L.B., Department of Computer Science, Boulevard du Triomphe / Triomflaan, B-1050 Brussels, at 19:00. The official convocation is available, also in PostScript and PDF format, and is sent via postal mail to all members.

There will be refreshments and pizza for Ada-Belgium members at 18:15. Please notify us if you intend to participate at this informal "pre-meeting".

Just after the G.A. we will also announce the winners of Ada-Belgium's Ada Contest.

"Next generation testing tools for embedded applications: Apply abstract interpretation to automatically detect run-time errors at compilation time"

At 20:00 the General Assembly will be followed by a technical presentation plus Q&A, by Marc Lalo from PolySpace Technologies, France. A separate event announcement is available, as well as a poster to help announce this event on bulletin boards, etc.

Participation

Everyone interested is welcome at either or both parts of this meeting. As usual, the event is free.

If you plan to attend the General Assembly or the PolySpace technical presentation, we would appreciate it if you could inform us by e-mail (please also specify if you intend to participate at the informal "pre-meeting"). Although no formal registration is required, this helps our preparations.

All Ada-Belgium members have a vote at the General Assembly, can add items to the agenda, and can be a candidate for a position on the Board (see the convocation for more details).

If you are a member but have not yet renewed your affiliation please do so by paying the appropriate fee before the General Assembly (last years' members also receive a printed request via normal mail).
If you are interested to become a new member, please register by filling out the 2003 membership application form and by paying the appropriate fee before the General Assembly.
After payment you will receive a receipt from our treasurer and you are considered a member of the organization for the year 2003 with all member benefits. Please settle this invoice a.s.a.p. Early renewal ensures you receive the full Ada-Belgium membership benefits (including the Ada-Europe indirect membership benefits package).

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 at URL ftp://ftp.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/Ada-Belgium/cdrom/index.html 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 and/or CD-ROMs, so I can bring enough copies with me.
