				 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:
