                                 TRI-ADA '89
                           CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT

Theme: Ada Technology in Context:  Application, Development, and Deployment

Date: 23-26 October 1989

Location:  D. L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, Pa

The second annual TRI-Ada conference will address fundamental principles and
important innovations in the design, definition, and implementation of
real-world applications using Ada.  Papers emphasizing both theoretical and
practical aspects will be presented, although papers describing actual
systems using Ada have preferred status.  Tutorials on a variety of
important and pragmatic topics will also be presented by experienced
persons.  In addition, there will be many panels to discuss relevant topics
in software development using Ada.  Vendor displays, birds-of-a-feather
sessions, a boat trip on the Three Rivers, and much more are also planned.
Mark your calendars now and plan to be there.

The following topics are especially targeted for this conference:

   - Pragmatic Experiences  with          - Software Build and Integra-
