SIGAda Award nomination deadline approaching -
ACM SIGAda Annual International Conference on Ada and Related Technologies (SIGAda'2011)


From: John McCormick <mccormick@cs.uni.edu>
Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada
Subject: Call for SIGAda Award Nominations
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 09:44:05 -0700 (PDT)

Dear Members of the Ada Community:

On Thursday, 10 November 2011, the 2011 SIGAda Awards will be
presented in a special morning plenary session at the SIGAda 2011
conference in Denver, Colorado.  (See http://www.sigada.org/conf/sigada2011/
if you have somehow missed announcements of this year's annual SIGAda
international conference.)

We welcome your nominations of deserving recipients.

The ACM SIGAda Awards recognize individuals and organizations who have
made outstanding contributions to the Ada community and to SIGAda.
The two categories of awards are:

(1) Outstanding Ada Community Contribution Award
    -- For broad, lasting contributions to Ada technology & usage.

(2) ACM SIGAda Distinguished Service Award
    -- For exceptional contributions to SIGAda activities & products.

Please consider who should be nominated this year.  You may nominate a
person for either or both awards, and as many people as you think
worthy.  One or more awards will be made in both categories.

Please visit http://www.sigada.org/exec/awards/awards.html#Previous
and peruse the names of past winners.  This may help you think about
the measure of accomplishment that is appropriate.  You may be aware
of people who have made substantial contributions that have not yet
been acknowledged. Nominate them.  Consider what you believe to be the
best developments in the Ada community or SIGAda in the last year; the
last 5 years; since Ada's inception. Who was responsible?  Nominate
them.

Please note that anyone who has received either of the two awards
remains eligible for the other.  Perhaps there is an outstanding
SIGAda volunteer who has won our Distinguished Service Award and who
has also made important contributions to the advance of Ada
technology, or visa versa.  Nominate him or her!

The nomination form is available on the SIGAda website at
http://www.sigada.org/exec/awards/awards.html#Form.

Submit your nomination as an e-mail or e-mail attachment to SIGAda-
Award@ACM.ORG.

The ACM SIGAda Awards Committee, comprised of volunteers who have
previously won an award, will determine this year's recipients from
your nominations.

Call our attention to the people who are most deserving, by nominating
them.  And please nominate by Sunday September 25!

Your participation in the nominations process will help maintain the
prestige and honor of these awards.

Thank you,

John McCormick
Past Chair ACM SIGAda

developers:


SIGAda 2011

November 6 - 10, 2011

Call for Technical Contributions

ACM Annual International Conference
on Ada and Related Technologies:
Engineering Safe, Secure, and Reliable Software



Submission Deadline: June 30, 2011
Sponsored by ACM SIGAda
http://www.acm.org/sigada/conf/sigada2011


SUMMARY: 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 application domains. 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, long-lived,
secure software. We are soliciting technical papers and experience
reports with on these development topics.  A direct relationship or
comparison with the Ada language is preferred.

KINDS OF TECHNICAL CONTRIBUTIONS:
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.

POSSIBLE TOPICS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

* Challenges for developing reliable, safe, long-lived, secure
software
* Ada and SPARK language experience reports
* Language selection for high reliability systems
* Mixed-language development
* Use of high reliability subsets or profiles such as MISRA C,
Ravenscar, SPARK, etc.
* High-reliability application development; conformance to DO-178B and
preparing for DO-178C
* High-security application development; conformance to Common
Criteria and Protection Profiles
* Analysis, testing, and validation
* Software process and quality metrics
* System of Systems
* Real-time networking/quality of service guarantees
* High-reliability development experience reports
* Static and dynamic analysis of code
* Use of formal methods for correctness proof
* Integrating COTS software components
* System Architecture & Design including Service-Oriented Architecture
and Agile Development
* Information Assurance
* Ada products certified against Common Criteria / Common Evaluation
Methodology
* Distributed systems
* Use of newer Ada 2005 features/capabilities
* Fault tolerance and recovery
* Performance analysis


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 work’s 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.

INDUSTRIAL PRESENTATIONS Authors of industrial presentations are
invited to submit a short overview (at least 1 page in size) of the
proposed presentation to the Industrial Committee Chair by August 1st
2011. The authors of selected presentations shall prepare a final
short abstract and submit it to the Committee Chair by October 1st,
2011, aiming at a 30-minute talk. The authors of accepted
presentations will be invited to submit corresponding articles for
publication in the ACM Ada Letters.

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 or high-reliability software development topics, 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
presenter’s 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).


HOW TO SUBMIT: Send contributions by June 30, 2011, in Word, PDF, or
text format as follows:
