[ecoop-info] ACM Conference on High Integrity Language Technology: HILT 2012, Boston (Dec. 2-6)

[Greg Gicca]

ACM Conference on High-Integrity Language Technology, HILT 2012
ACM SIGAda’s Annual International Conference
Boston, Massachusetts
December 2-3, 2012 / Tutorials
December 4-6, 2012 / Conference

Why you should attend:

Software is becoming more and more pervasive in our everyday lives and 
we count on this software to be reliable. Its failure could lead to 
financial or even physical harm.

High integrity software must not only meet correctness and performance 
criteria but also satisfy stringent safety and/or security demands, 
typically entailing certification against a relevant standard. A 
significant factor affecting whether and how such requirements are met 
is the chosen language technology and its supporting tools: not just the 
programming languages) but also languages for expressing specifications, 
program properties, domain models, and other attributes of the software 
or overall system. HILT 2012 provides a forum for the leading experts 
from academia/research, industry, and government to present their latest 
findings in designing, implementing, and using language technology for 
high integrity software.

Sponsored by SIGAda, ACM’s Special Interest Group on the Ada Programming 
Language, in cooperation with SIGCSE, SIGPLAN, SIGSOFT, SIGBED, 
Ada-Europe, and the Ada Resource Association.
