In the last decade the conference has established itself as an
international forum for providers and practitioners of, and researchers
into, 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 variety of application domains. The program will allow
ample time for keynotes, Q&A sessions, panel discussions and social
events. Participants will include practitioners and researchers from
industry, academia and government organizations interested in
furthering the development of reliable software technologies.
To mark the completion of the technical work for the Ada language
standard revision process, contributions that present and discuss
the potential of the revised language are particularly sought after.

For papers, tutorials, and workshop proposals, the topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

The authors of accepted papers shall prepare their camera-ready
submissions in full conformance with the LNCS style, not exceeding 12
pages and strictly by *February 20, 2006*. Authors should refer to:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for format and style
guidelines. Failure to comply will prevent the paper from appearing in
the conference proceedings. The conference proceedings including all
accepted papers will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) series by Springer Verlag, which will be available at
the start of the conference.

Awards
------
Ada-Europe will offer honorary awards for the best paper and the best
presentation, which will be presented during the banquet and at the

Call for Tutorials
------------------
Tutorials should address subjects that fall within the thrust of the
conference and may be proposed as either half- or a full-day events.

tutorials will receive a complimentary conference registration as well
