[ecoop-info] C.f.Industrial Pres., Reliable Software Technologies, Ada-Europe 2014

[Dirk Craeynest]

Do you work on industrial projects (possibly Ada-related) where
reliable software is important?  Do you know people working on such
projects?  Then this call for industrial presentations is targeted
to you!

Many projects could report a lot of valuable experience: sharing it
with others benefits the whole community and provides useful feedback
to the project.

I invite you to check out the appended call, and to try getting a
1-page presentation overview submitted by January 19th at the latest,
i.e. in 3 weeks from now.

Looking forward to receive many interesting proposals.

suitable planning of the exhibition space and time.

Conferences Topics
------------------
The conference has over the years become a leading international
forum for providers, practitioners and researchers in 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 challenging variety of application domains.  The program will
allow ample time for keynotes, Q&A sessions and discussions, and
social events.  Participants include practitioners and researchers
representing industry, academia and government organizations active
in the promotion and development of reliable software technologies.

Topics of interest to this edition of the conference include but are
not limited to:

- Multicore and Manycore Programming: Predictable Programming
  Approaches for Multicore and Manycore Systems, Parallel Programming
  Models, Scheduling Analysis Techniques.

- Real-Time and Embedded Systems: Real-Time Scheduling, Design Methods
  and Techniques, Architecture Modelling, HW/SW Co-Design, Reliability
  and Performance Analysis.

- Theory and Practice of High-Integrity Systems: Challenges from
  Mixed-Criticality Systems; Medium to Large-Scale Distribution,
