Saturday, 21 March 2020

The containment measures put in place on a world scale against the
COVID-19 pandemic, which is affecting us all so severely, have
taken precedence in everybody's personal and professional life.
The consequent regulations issued by national governments and public
health authorities in the regard of public gatherings, oblige us
to cancel the Ada-Europe International Conference 2020 (AEiC 2020),
scheduled for 8-12 June 2020, in Santander, Spain.

Consequent to that obligation, the organizing committee and its
principal sponsor Ada-Europe have made a number of decisions, which
we wish to share with authors, sponsors, participants and any other
interested parties.

In regard to the calendar of events promoted by Ada-Europe:

- Santander, Spain, will be the venue of the next Ada-Europe
  International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies in
  June 2021.

- The venue originally earmarked for the 2021 edition of the AEiC,
  Ghent, Belgium, will be the prime candidate to host the 2022 edition
  of the conference.

- Selected elements of the technical program of the 2020 conference
  program will be considered for presentation at an Ada event
  co-organized with the International Real-Time Ada Workshop
  (IRTAW 2020), now tentatively postponed to late October 2020, near
  Valencia, Spain.  The details of that event will be announced in due
  course, contingent on the lifting of current sanitary restrictions.

In regard to the elements of the 2020 conference program:

- The processing of the Journal-track submissions continues seamlessly,
  with a view to ensuring prompt open-access publication to those
  that gain acceptance.  The authors of the accepted papers will be
  invited to present their work at the 2021 conference.

- The authors of the Industrial Presentations that are accepted after
  review will be invited to forward their work to the Ada User Journal
  for immediate publication.

- The call for Work-in-Progress submissions is cancelled.  The
  prospective authors are invited to forward their work to the Ada
  User Journal for consideration.

We express our heartfelt friendship to all members of our community
and their families in these difficult times, and look forward to the
restoration of a safe normality.

See you all soon!

The Ada-Europe Board
