*** General Information
The 25th Ada-Europe International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies (AEiC 2020 aka Ada-Europe 2020) will take place in Santander, Spain, in the week of 8-12 June. The conference schedule includes a technical program and vendor exhibition, and parallel tutorials and workshops.
The 2020 edition of the conference continues the major revamp in the registration fees introduced in 2019, redesigned to extend participation from industry and academia, and to reward contributors, especially but not solely, students and post-doc researchers.
*** Schedule
7 January 2020: Submission of journal-track papers, industrial presentation outlines, and tutorial and workshop proposals
20 March 2020: Notification of acceptance for journal-track papers, industrial presentations, tutorials and workshops
31 March 2020: Submission of Work-in-Progress (WiP) papers
30 April 2020: Notification of acceptance for WiP papers
*** 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:
- Design and Implementation of Real-Time and Embedded Systems: Real-Time Scheduling, Design Methods and Techniques, Architecture Modelling, HW/SW Co-Design, Reliability and Performance;
- Design and Implementation of Mixed-Criticality Systems: Scheduling Methods, Mixed-Criticality Architectures, Design Methods, Analysis Methods;
- Theory and Practice of High-Integrity Systems: Medium to Large-Scale Distribution, Fault Tolerance, Security, Reliability, Trust and Safety, Languages Vulnerabilities;
- Software Architectures for Reliable Systems: Design Patterns, Frameworks, Architecture-Centered Development, Component-based Design and Development;
- Methods and Techniques for Quality Software Development and Maintenance: Requirements Engineering, Model-driven Architecture and Engineering, Formal Methods, Re-engineering and Reverse Engineering, Reuse, Software Management Issues, Compilers, Libraries, Support Tools;
- Ada Language and Technologies: Compilation Issues, Runtimes, Ravenscar, Profiles, Distributed Systems, SPARK;
- Mainstream and Emerging Applications with Reliability Requirements: Manufacturing, Robotics, Avionics, Space, Health Care, Transportation, Cloud Environments, Smart Energy Systems, Serious Games, etc;
- Achieving and Assuring Safety in Machine Learning Systems;
- Experience Reports in Reliable System Development: Case Studies and Comparative Assessments, Management Approaches, Qualitative and Quantitative Metrics;
- Experiences with Ada: Reviews of the Ada 2012 language features, implementation and use issues, positioning in the market and in the software engineering curriculum, lessons learned on Ada Education and Training Activities with bearing on any of the conference topics.
*** Call for Journal-Track Papers
The journal-track papers submitted to the conference are full-length papers that must describe mature research work on the conference topics. They must be original and shall undergo anonymous peer review.
Accepted journal-track papers will get a presentation slot within a technical session of the conference and they will be published in an open-access special issue of the Journal of Systems Architecture with no additional costs to authors.
The corresponding authors shall submit their work by 7 January 2020 via the Special Issue web page: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-systems-architecture/ call-for-papers/advances-in-reliable-software-technologies
*** Call for WiP-Track Papers
The Work-in-Progress papers (WiP-track) are short (4-page) papers describing evolving and early-stage ideas or new research directions. They must be original and shall undergo anonymous peer review. The corresponding authors shall submit their work by 31 March 2020, via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aeic2020, strictly in PDF and following the Ada User Journal style (http://www.ada-europe.org/auj/).
Authors of accepted WiP-track papers will get a presentation slot within a regular technical session of the conference and will also be requested to present a poster. The papers will be published in the Ada User Journal as part of the proceedings of the Conference.
The conference is listed in the principal citation databases, including DBLP, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The Ada User Journal is indexed by Scopus and by EBSCOhost in the Academic Search Ultimate database.
*** 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, in the form of a short (one or two pages) abstract, by 7 January 2020, via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aeic2020, strictly in PDF and following the Ada User Journal style (http://www.ada-europe.org/auj/).
The Industrial Committee will review the submissions anonymously and make recommendations for acceptance. The abstract of the accepted contributions will be included in the conference booklet, and authors will get a presentation slot within a regular technical session of the conference.
These authors will also be invited to expand their contributions into articles for publication in the Ada User Journal, as part of the proceedings of the Industrial Program of the Conference.
*** Awards
Ada-Europe will offer an honorary award for the best presentation.
*** Call for Educational Tutorials
The conference is seeking tutorials in the form of educational seminars including hands-on or practical demonstrations. Proposed tutorials can be from any part of the reliable software domain, they may be purely academic or from an industrial base making use of tools used in current software development environments. We are also interested in contemporary software topics, such as IoT and artificial intelligence and their application to reliability and safety.
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). All proposals should be submitted by e-mail 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 that fall 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 days. Workshop proposals should be submitted by e-mail 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. Vendors and providers of software products and services should contact the Exhibition Chair for information and for allowing suitable planning of the exhibition space and time.
*** Special Registration Fees
Authors of accepted contributions and all students will enjoy reduced registration fees.
*** Venue
Santander is a nice tourist city in the north of Spain, with a well-connected airport and at a 100 km drive from Bilbao airport.
The conference venue and hotel is the Bahia Hotel in the city center and beside Santander bay.
