International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies Ada-Europe '97

Second call for papers

Because the earlier call had (unintentionally) only limited circulation we are re-issuing it with later closing dates:

for extended abstracts (3-6 pages):	21st November 1996
for full papers:	31st December 1996

Authors are invited to submit papers on original research or reports on relevant experience of software engineering techniques and tools. Suggested topics include but are not limited to:

• object-oriented analysis, design and programming
• benefits and drawbacks of using formal methods
• managing software development
• experiences of introducing Ada 95
• programming languages for software engineering
• safety-critical software
• systems implemented in more than one programming language
• comparisons of software engineering techniques and tools
• the development of Ada bindings
• the use of Ada in applications
• teaching software engineering or programming

Contributions may be submitted to either of the Co-Programme Chairs. Authors should provide the following information: title of paper, name of author(s), author's affiliation, postal and electronic mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers and a list of keywords ordered by relevance. Submissions must be in English. Submitting by electronic mail is preferred (plain ASCII); if submitting on paper, please provide 5 copies. Submissions by fax are not accepted. The deadline for abstracts is 21st November 1996. The alternative deadline for full papers only is 31st December 1996.

Proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Ada-Europe will sponsor awards for

• the best paper
• the best presentation

each worth Ecu 500 (approx. £375 or $550).

ACM SIGAda are offering four conference-only registrations to SIGAda members with a presence on the programme
