-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ada-Europe organizes annual international conferences since the early 80's. This is the 21st event in the Reliable Software Technologies series, previous ones being held at Montreux, Switzerland ('96), London, UK ('97), Uppsala, Sweden ('98), Santander, Spain ('99), Potsdam, Germany ('00), Leuven, Belgium ('01), Vienna, Austria ('02), Toulouse, France ('03), Palma de Mallorca, Spain ('04), York, UK ('05), Porto, Portugal ('06), Geneva, Switzerland ('07), Venice, Italy ('08), Brest, France ('09), Valencia, Spain ('10), Edinburgh, UK ('11), Stockholm, Sweden ('12), Berlin, Germany ('13), Paris, France ('14), and Madrid, Spain ('15).
General Information ------------------- The 21st International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies - Ada-Europe 2016 will take place in Pisa, Italy. Following its traditional style, the conference will span a full week, including a three-day technical program and vendor exhibition from Tuesday to Thursday, along with parallel tutorials and workshops on Monday and Friday.
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. The Ada language, a reliable software technology by design, crosses all topics of the conference, which nonetheless also welcomes any other technologies proposed or in use for reliable software.
This edition of Ada-Europe also features a focused Special Session on Safe, Predictable Parallel Software Technologies. Following the intensifying trend of usage of Multi-/Many-core systems, it is increasingly important to assess how reliable software technologies need to adapt to these complex platforms, as well as how parallel models need to adapt to domains in which safety and predictability is a must.
Conference Proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer. Selected papers of the conference will be also invited for special issues of Springer's Computing Journal (general track papers) and Journal of Parallel Programming (special session papers).

Call for Papers --------------- Authors of regular and special session papers which are to undergo peer review for acceptance are invited to submit original contributions. Paper submissions shall not exceed 14 LNCS-style pages in length. Authors shall submit their work via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=adaeurope2016. The format for submission is solely PDF.
Proceedings ----------- The conference proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer, and will be available at the start of the conference. The authors of accepted regular papers shall prepare camera-ready submissions in full conformance with the LNCS style, not exceeding 14 pages, and strictly by March 24, 2016. For format and style guidelines authors should refer to http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Failure to comply and to register for the conference by that date will prevent the paper from appearing in the proceedings.
The International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies is ranked class A in CORE. Microsoft Academic Search has it in the top third for conferences on programming languages by number of citations in the last 10 years. The conference is listed in DBLP, SCOPUS and Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation index, among others.
Call for Industrial Presentations --------------------------------- The conference seeks industrial presentations which deliver value and insight but may not fit the selection process for regular papers. Authors are invited to submit a presentation outline of exactly 1 page in length by January 17, 2016. Submissions shall be made via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=adaeurope2016. The format for submission is solely PDF. The Industrial Committee will review the submissions and make the selection. The authors of selected presentations shall prepare a final short abstract, aiming at a 20-minute talk. The authors of accepted presentations will be invited to submit corresponding articles for publication in the Ada User Journal (http://www.ada-europe.org/auj/), which will host the proceedings of the Industrial Program of the Conference. For any further information please contact the Industrial Co-chairs directly.
Awards ------ Ada-Europe will offer honorary awards for the best regular paper and the best presentation.
Call for Tutorials ------------------ Tutorials should address subjects that fall within the scope of the conference and may be proposed as either half- or full-day events. Proposals should include a title, an abstract, a description of the topic, a detailed outline of the presentation, a description of the presenter's lecturing expertise in general and with the proposed topic in particular, the proposed duration (half day or full day), the intended level of the tutorial (introductory, intermediate, or advanced), the recommended audience experience and background, and a statement of the reasons for attending. Proposals should be submitted by e-mail to the Tutorial Chair. The authors of accepted full-day tutorials will receive a complimentary conference registration as well as a fee for every paying participant in excess of 5; for half-day tutorials, these benefits will be accordingly halved.
