CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION
Ada : Experiences and Prospects
12-14 June 1990 Dublin, Ireland
The year 1990 marks the start of a new decade and the end of one
in which the Ada language came of age, in terms of use and
acceptability. What better time to reflect on the experiences of
Ada users throughout that time and to look to the future in the
light of that experience.
Also, this is a crucial phase of Ada's life in which the standard
is being evaluated and changes to it are being proposed through
the 9X process, the outcome of which will determine the shape of
Ada through to the next century. This conference will fall mid-way
through the 9X programme, and will be a good forum for discussion
of topical issues.
Papers are sought describing, in particular, experiences with
using Ada within projects throughout their life cycle, so that the
impact of Ada can be assessed. Of special interest is feedback
about the maintenance and enhancement phases of Ada projects and
products. Does Ada stand up to its claims, especially with respect
to quality? Papers should address what was predicted, what
actually happened and what should be done in future.
The main theme of the conference is the impact of technical and
management issues in the software engineering economics of Ada, as
well as technology transfer and training.
Authors are invited to prepare an extended abstract (4-6 pages) in
English, including the paper title, authors' names, affiliations,
addresses (including electronic addresses), and phone numbers and
forward ten copies to the Programme Chairman:
