TRI-ADA '89
CALL FOR PAPERS
Theme: Ada Technology in Context: Application, Development, and Deployment
Date: 23-26 October 1989
Location: D. L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, Pa
TRI-Ada '89 is a refereed conference. The following paragraphs outline the
objectives of the conference and serve as instructions to interested authors.
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 are solicited, although papers describing actual systems
using Ada are preferred. Papers must describe new ideas that have the
potential to improve the understanding, implementation, management and
acceptance of Ada and Ada support methodologies for practical applications.
The following topics are especially targeted for this conference:
- Pragmatic Experiences with - Software Build and Integra-
Ada tion Approaches
- Evaluating and Selecting - Portability Techniques and
Compilers and Toolsets Issues
- Overcoming Compiler and - Prototyping for Ada Ap-
Toolset Limitations plications
- Risk Reduction/Management - Business/Economic Issues
Strategies
- Post Deployment Software
- Requirements for Standard Support
Libraries
- Ada Policy and Impact on
- Metrics/Data Gathering for Procurement
Ada Applications
- System Reliability:
- Design Issues and Ap- Security and Fault Toler-
proaches ance
- Systems Engineering - CM and Version Control
- Hardware/Software Tradeoffs - Cost Estimation: FSED and
Life Cycle
- Testing Techniques
- Results from Education and
- Results from Software Reuse Training Efforts
Authors should submit 10 copies of a technical summary no later than 15 April
1989. The initial submission should NOT be a complete paper and should be
structured such that it can be rapidly evaluated by members of the program
committee. Submissions are limited to 10 pages, double spaced, and should
include a return mailing address and an electronic address if possible. The
total text should not exceed 3000 words. Papers will be judged on relevance,
clarity, correctness, originality, significance, and applicability to the
topics of the conference. It is important to include specific results,
sketches of their derivations, and comparison to previous work.
Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection no later than 31 May
1989. Full versions of the accepted paper must be received in camera ready
form by 1 August 1989. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to sign a
copyright release form. Proceedings will be distributed at the symposium,
and will subsequently be available from the ACM.
Inquiries should be referred to:
