Contributions are sought in areas including the following:
* Costing and estimating with systems for which Ada is markedly
different
* Design with Ada-oriented PDL
* Configuration control and other life-cycle issues
* Techniques for reusability and operational taxonomies for finding code
* Unique Ada techniques for specific application areas
* Secondary standards and interfaces (graphics, database, etc.) and
their use
* Maintenance of Ada systems
* Tools and environments that facilitate Ada project development
* Techniques for building real-time systems in Ada
