Venice (8 June 2008 21:00) - Ada-Europe, in cooperation with ACM's
Special Interest Group on Ada, organizes the "13th International

The conference offers two days of tutorials, a full technical program
of refereed papers, a collection of industrial presentations reflecting
current practice and challenges, an educational track, three invited
speakers, an industrial exhibition, and a social program.

The 10 excellent tutorials on Monday and Friday cover a broad range of
topics: AADL - Architecture Analysis and Design Language, A Practical
Introduction to Model-Driven Software Development using Eclipse,
The Best of Ada 2005, Object-Oriented Programming in Ada 2005,
Preserving Model-Asserted Properties at Run Time for High-Integrity
Systems, Technical Basis of Model Driven Engineering, Languages for
Safety-Critical Software - Issues and Assessment, Service-Oriented
Architecture Concepts and Implementations, Verification Techniques
for Dependable Systems, and Real-Time Scheduling Analysis of Ada
Applications.

The technical program presents 20 refereed and carefully selected
papers on the latest research, new tools, applications and industrial
practice and experience, a collection of 11 industrial presentations
reflecting current practice and challenges, and 4 presentations plus a
panel discussion on Ada and Education.  Springer Verlag publishes the
proceedings of the conference, as LNCS Vol. 5026.

Three international experts present invited lectures on the topics:
Embedded Software Design: Art or Science?, Lost in Translation, and
Three Ways to Improve SOA Reliability.

The exhibition opens in the mid-morning break on Tuesday and runs
continuously until the end of the afternoon break on Thursday.
The exhibitors include the following vendors: AdaCore, Aonix, Ellidiss
Software, Praxis High Integrity Systems, Rapita Systems, and Telelogic.

The social program includes on Tuesday evening a welcome reception at
Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti on the Grand Canal, accompanied by musical
entertainment by members of the conference community, and on Wednesday
evening a private boat trip along the Grand Canal to the conference
banquet in the renowned "Osteria Ponte del Diavolo" restaurant at
