*** General Information

Ada-Europe is pleased to announce that its 24th International
Conference on Reliable Software Technologies (Ada-Europe 2019)
will take place in Warsaw, Poland, in the week of 10-14 June.
The conference schedule at its fullest includes a three-day technical
program and vendor exhibition from Tuesday to Thursday, and parallel
tutorials and workshops on Monday and Friday.

This edition of the conference inaugurates a major revamp in the
registration fees, redesigned to extend participation from industry
and academia, and to reward contributors, especially but not solely,
students and post-doc researchers.

*** Schedule

14 January 2019: Submission of papers, industrial presentation
                 outlines, tutorial and workshop proposals

                 material required

*** Topics

The conference is 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 from industry, academia and government
organizations active in the promotion and development of reliable
software technologies.

The topics of interest for the conference include but are not
limited to:

*** Call for Regular Papers

The regular papers submitted to the conference must be original and
shall undergo anonymous peer review.  The authors shall submit their
work by 14 January 2019, in PDF only, and up to 16 LNCS-style pages
in length, via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ae2019.

The conference is listed in the principal citation databases, including
DBLP, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.  The authors of the
papers that will appear in the conference proceedings will be invited
to extend their work for submission to a Special Issue of Elsevier's
Journal of Systems Architecture, centered on the conference themes.

*** Proceedings

The conference proceedings will appear in Springer's Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) series, and will be available at the
conference, both online and in print.  The authors of accepted
regular papers shall prepare camera-ready submissions in full
conformance with the LNCS style, strictly by 16 March 2019.
For format and style guidelines, the authors should refer to
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.  Failure to comply and
to register at least one author for the conference by that date will
prevent the paper from appearing in the proceedings.

*** Call for Industrial Presentations

The conference seeks industrial presentations that deliver
insightful information value but may not sustain the strictness
of the review process required for regular papers.  The authors
of industrial presentations shall submit their proposals, of at
least 1 page in length, by 14 January 2019, strictly in PDF, via
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ae2019.

The Industrial Committee will review the submissions anonymously
and make recommendations for acceptance.  The authors of accepted
contributions shall be requested to submit a 2-page abstract by 16
March 2019, for inclusion in the conference booklet, and be invited to
deliver a 20-minute talk at the conference.  These authors will also
be invited to expand their contributions into articles for publication
in the Ada User Journal (http://www.ada-europe.org/auj/), as part of
the proceedings of the Industrial Program of the Conference.  For any
further information, please contact the Industrial Chair directly.

*** Awards

Ada-Europe will offer honorary awards for the best regular paper and
the best presentation.

*** Call for Educational Tutorials

The conference seeks tutorials in the form of educational seminars that
may include hands-on or practical demonstrations.  Proposed tutorials
can address any part of the reliable software domain, and may have an
academic or industrial slant from technology perspective.  All software
topics and their application to reliability and safety are welcome.
Tutorial proposals shall include a title, an abstract, a description of
the topic, an outline of the presentation, the proposed duration (half
day or full day), and the intended level of the tutorial (introductory,
intermediate, or advanced), and most importantly a statement expressing
why it will be worthwhile to attend the tutorial.  Tutorial proposals
shall be submitted to the Educational Tutorial Chair.

The authors of accepted full-day tutorials will receive a complimentary
conference registration.  For half-day tutorials, this benefit is
halved.  The Ada User Journal will offer space for the publication
of summaries of the accepted tutorials.

*** Call for Workshops

Workshops on themes within the conference scope may be proposed.
Proposals may be submitted for half- or full-day events, to be
scheduled at either end of the conference week.  Workshop proposals
shall be submitted to the Workshop Chair.  The workshop organizer
shall also commit to producing the proceedings of the event, for
publication in the Ada User Journal.

*** Call for Exhibitors

The commercial exhibition will span the core days of the main
conference.  Interested providers of software products and services
should send inquiries to the Exhibition Chair.

*** Venue

The conference will take place in Warsaw, Poland, at the Engineering
Design Center, a partnership of General Electric and the Institute of
Aviation, one of Europe's largest engineering institutions.
