About the Conference |
The 11th International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies (Ada-Europe 2006) will take place in Porto, Portugal. Following the usual style, the conference will span a full week, including a three-day technical program and vendor exhibitions from Tuesday to Thursday, along with parallel workshops and tutorials on Monday and Friday.
In the last decade the conference has established itself as an international forum for providers and practitioners of, and researchers into, reliable software technologies. The conference presentations will illustrate current work in the theory and practice of the design, development and maintenance of long-lived, high-quality software systems for a variety of application domains. The program will allow ample time for keynotes, Q&A sessions, panel discussions and social events. Participants will include practitioners and researchers from industry, academia and government organizations interested in furthering the development of reliable software technologies. To mark the completion of the technical work for the Ada language standard revision process, contributions that present and discuss the potential of the revised language are particularly sought after.
