Topics

Over the years Ada-Europe has established itself as an international forum for providers, practitioners and researchers into reliable software technologies. The conference presentations illustrate current work in the theory and practice of the development and maintenance of long-lived, high-quality software systems for a variety of established and novel application domains. The program allows ample time for keynotes, Q&A; sessions, panel discussions and social events. Participants include practitioners and researchers representing industry, academia and government organizations active in the promotion and development of reliable software technologies.

Topics of interest to the conference, are listed below:

  • Methods and Techniques for Software Development and Maintenance Requirements Engineering, Object-Oriented Technologies, Model-driven Engineering, Formal Methods and Supporting Toolsets, Re-engineering and Reverse Engineering, Reuse, Software Management.
  • Software Architectures Architectural Styles, Service-Oriented Architectures, Cloud Service Model, Design Patterns, Frameworks, Architecture-Centered Development, Component and Class Libraries, Component-based Design and Development.
  • Enabling Technologies Software Development Environments, Compilers, Debuggers, Run-time Systems, Middleware Components, Concurrent and Distributed Programming, Ada Language and Technologies.
  • Software Quality Quality Management and Assurance, Risk Analysis, Program Analysis, Verification, Validation, Testing of Software Systems.
