The 22nd International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies -
Ada-Europe 2017 takes place in Vienna, Austria, from June 12 to 16,
2017.  It is an exciting event with an outstanding technical program,
keynote talks, exhibition and networking from Tuesday to Thursday,
and a rich program of workshops and tutorials on Monday and Friday.

The conference is hosted by TU Vienna at Palais Eschenbach, which is
located near the center of Vienna and can easily be accessed by metro.

The Ada-Europe series of conferences has over the years become
a leading international forum for providers, practitioners and
researchers in reliable software technologies.  These events
highlight the increased relevance of Ada in general and in safety-
and security-critical systems in particular, and provide a unique
opportunity for interaction and collaboration between academics and
industrial practitioners.

Extensive information is available on the conference web site, such as
an overview of the program, the list of accepted papers and industrial
presentations, and descriptions of workshops, tutorials, keynote
presentations, and social events.  Also check the conference web site
