This is to remind you about the upcoming ACM SIGAda International Conference on Ada, to be held in Boston during December 9-11, 1987, preceded by a set of tutorials on Tuesday, December 8. These events are in conjunction with Ada Expo '87, meaning that anyone who registers for the SIGAda sessions gets free attendance at the Expo exhibits, and also that there is a reduced registration fee for those who want to sign up both for the Expo sessions and the SIGAda conference. A conference registration form, together with the program for the SIGAda tutorials and conference, will be mailed out to SIGAda members in the next several weeks. If you are impatient, please send me a net message with your complete mailing address and I will arrange to have a copy of the package sent to you. The December SIGAda conference is one of our biannual conferences, and the technical program organized by Bill Whitaker is impressive. The theme of the conference is "Using Ada", and the papers address the topic well. The SIGAda tutorials on December 8, under the auspices of the Boston Local Sigada Chapter and the Commercial Ada Users Working Group from national SIGAda, will focus on "Ada and MIS Applications." -Ben Brosgol / SIGAda Chair
