For those of you who could not attend the last Ada-Europe conference
in Valencia, I have uploaded one industrial presentation video:

I was told that all presentations were recorded, so maybe with time
more of them will become publicly available.
I'm glad to create higher pressure on the organizers by doing it
first. ;-)

Press release:

Ada-Europe Conference on Reliable Software Technologies

International experts meet in Valencia

Valencia (6 June 2010 23:00) - Ada-Europe, in cooperation with ACM's
Special Interest Group on Ada, organizes the "15th International
Conference on Reliable Software Technologies - Ada-Europe 2010"
from 14 to 18 June in Valencia, Spain.

The conference offers two days of tutorials, three invited speakers, a
full technical program of refereed papers, a collection of industrial
presentations, a special session on Software Vulnerabilities and
Security, an industrial exhibition, and a social program.

The 8 excellent tutorials on Monday and Friday cover a broad range
of topics: Developing High-Integrity Systems with GNATforLEON/ORK+;
Software Design Concepts and Pitfalls; Using Object-Oriented
Technologies in Secure Systems; Hypervisor Technology for Building
Safety-Critical Systems: XtratuM; How to Optimize Reliable Software;
Developing Web-Aware Applications in Ada with AWS; SPARK: The Libre
Language and Toolset for High-Assurance Software; C#, .NET and Ada:
Keeping the Faith in a Language-Agnostic Environment.

Three eminent keynote speakers have been selected to open each day of
the core conference program.  Theodore Baker (Florida State University,
USA), a leading researcher in Ada and Real-Time systems, will examine
the state of the art in multiprocessor real-time scheduling in his talk
"What to Make of Multicore Processors for Reliable Real-Time Systems?".
Pedro Albertos (Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain), a most
authoritative member of the Automatic Control community, will explore
the relationship between implementation and performance of control
algorithms in a talk entitled "Control Co-Design: Algorithms and their
Implementation".  James Sutton (Lockheed Martin, USA), a renowned
expert software architect, in his talk entitled "Ada: Made for the 3.0
World" will explore how Ada is prepared for a world that makes peace
with complexity and chaos, and learns to use them to its advantage.

The technical program presents 17 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 an invited session on
the hot topic of software vulnerabilities and security.  Springer
Verlag publishes the proceedings of the conference, as LNCS Vol. 6106.

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, Altran Praxis,
Atego (formerly Aonix), and Ellidiss Software (formerly TNI Europe).

The social program includes on Tuesday evening a welcome reception
at the Jardí Botànic, the botanical garden within walking distance
from the conference venue, and on Wednesday evening a bus trip to
and conference banquet in the Masía Xamandreu, a beautiful Valencian
country house built in the 19th century.

The venue for the Ada-Europe 2010 conference is the Fundación
Universidad-Empresa - ADEIT.  It is a modern building located behind
Santa Catalina Church, in the historical city centre of Valencia and
very close to most historic buildings and monuments.  The full program
is available on the conference web site.  Registration is still open.

traditional style, the conference will span a full week, including a
three-day technical program and vendor exhibition from Tuesday to
Thursday, along with parallel tutorials and workshops on Monday and
Friday.

In addition to the usual Call for Papers, the conference also seeks
industrial presentations which may deliver 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 Jorge Real (jorge@disca.upv.es) by 11 January 2010.
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 10 May 2010, aiming
at a 20-minute talk.  The authors of accepted presentations will be
invited to submit corresponding articles for publication in the Ada
User Journal, which will host the proceedings of the Industrial Program
of the Conference.

In addition to the award for best regular paper, Ada-Europe will also
offer an honorary award for the best presentation, considering both
regular and industrial presentations.

Summary: One month until submission deadline!
Keywords: Conference,tutorials,industry,reliability,Ada,LNCS,Valencia,Spain

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
at the latest on January 11th, i.e. one month 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 start of the conference.  The authors of accepted regular papers
shall prepare camera-ready submissions in full conformance with the
LNCS style, not exceeding 14 pages and strictly by 1 March 2010.  For

Awards
------
Ada-Europe will offer honorary awards for the best regular paper and
the best presentation.

Call for Industrial Presentations
---------------------------------
The conference also seeks industrial presentations which may deliver
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 11 January 2010.  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 10 May 2010, aiming at a
20-minute talk.  The authors of accepted presentations will be invited
to submit corresponding articles for publication in the Ada User
Journal, which will host the proceedings of the Industrial Program of
the Conference.

Call for Tutorials
------------------
Tutorials should address subjects that fall within the scope of the
conference and 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
by e-mail to the Tutorial Chair.  The authors of accepted 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 that fall within the conference scope may be
proposed.  Proposals may be submitted for half- or full-day events, to
be scheduled at either end of the conference week.  Workshop proposals
should be submitted to the Conference Chair.  The workshop organizer
shall also commit to preparing proceedings for timely publication in
the Ada User Journal.

Call for Exhibitors
-------------------
The commercial exhibition 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.

Grants for Students
-------------------
A limited number of sponsored grants is expected to be available for
students who would like to attend the conference or tutorials.  Contact
the Conference Chair for details.
