Press release:
Ada-Europe Conference on Reliable Software Technologies
International experts meet in Venice
Venice (8 June 2008 21:00) - Ada-Europe, in cooperation with ACM's
Special Interest Group on Ada, organizes the "13th International
Conference on Reliable Software Technologies - Ada-Europe 2008"
from 16 to 20 June in Venice, Italy.
The conference offers two days of tutorials, a full technical program
of refereed papers, a collection of industrial presentations reflecting
current practice and challenges, an educational track, three invited
speakers, an industrial exhibition, and a social program.
The 10 excellent tutorials on Monday and Friday cover a broad range of
topics: AADL - Architecture Analysis and Design Language, A Practical
Introduction to Model-Driven Software Development using Eclipse,
The Best of Ada 2005, Object-Oriented Programming in Ada 2005,
Preserving Model-Asserted Properties at Run Time for High-Integrity
Systems, Technical Basis of Model Driven Engineering, Languages for
Safety-Critical Software - Issues and Assessment, Service-Oriented
Architecture Concepts and Implementations, Verification Techniques
for Dependable Systems, and Real-Time Scheduling Analysis of Ada
Applications.
The technical program presents 20 refereed and carefully selected
papers on the latest research, new tools, applications and industrial
practice and experience, a collection of 11 industrial presentations
reflecting current practice and challenges, and 4 presentations plus a
panel discussion on Ada and Education. Springer Verlag publishes the
proceedings of the conference, as LNCS Vol. 5026.
Three international experts present invited lectures on the topics:
Embedded Software Design: Art or Science?, Lost in Translation, and
Three Ways to Improve SOA Reliability.
The exhibition opens in the mid-morning break on Tuesday and runs
continuously until the end of the afternoon break on Thursday.
The exhibitors include the following vendors: AdaCore, Aonix, Ellidiss
Software, Praxis High Integrity Systems, Rapita Systems, and Telelogic.
The social program includes on Tuesday evening a welcome reception at
Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti on the Grand Canal, accompanied by musical
entertainment by members of the conference community, and on Wednesday
evening a private boat trip along the Grand Canal to the conference
banquet in the renowned "Osteria Ponte del Diavolo" restaurant at
Torcello, the farthest island of the lagoon.
The conference takes place at the Centro Culturale Don Orione
Artigianelli, at Zattere Dorsoduro 909/A, at the south end of Venice,
some 15 minutes of leisurely walk from Piazza San Marco, perhaps the
most renowned spot of the city. The full program is available on the
conference web site. Registration is still open.

Friday.
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.
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 (tullio.vardanega@math.unipd.it) 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.
Ada-Europe will offer honorary awards for the best regular paper and
the best presentation.

This call for industrial presentations is specifically targeted
to those of you who either work on industrial projects (possibly
Ada-related) where reliable software is important, or know people
working on such projects.
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.

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

will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
series by Springer Verlag and will be available at the start of the
conference.
Awards
------
Ada-Europe will offer honorary awards for the best regular paper and

Call for Industrial Presentations
---------------------------------
The conference also seeks industrial presentations which may have value
and insight, but do not fit the selection process for regular papers.
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
(yet to be named) 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

------------------
Tutorials that address subjects in the scope of the conference may be
proposed as either half- or full-day events. Proposals should include
a title, an abstract, a description of the topic, a detailed outline of
the presentation, a description of the presenter's lecturing expertise
in general and with the proposed topic in particular, the proposed
duration (half day or full day), the intended level of the tutorial
(introductory, intermediate, or advanced), the recommended audience
experience and background, and a statement of the reasons for
attending. Proposals should be submitted to the Tutorial Chair. The
providers of full-day tutorials will receive a complimentary conference
registration as well as a fee for every paying participant in excess of
5; for half-day tutorials, these benefits will be accordingly halved.
The Ada User Journal will offer space for the publication of summaries
of the accepted tutorials.
Call for Workshops
------------------
Workshops on themes in scope of the conference may be proposed.
Proposals may be submitted for half- or full-day events, to be
