1st Announcement -
12th International Real-Time Ada Workshop (IRTAW-2003)

              12th International Real-Time Ada Workshop
                               IRTAW-12
                         15-19 September 2003
            Pousada Monte de Sta. Luzia, Viana do Castelo
                               Portugal

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

Over the last 15 years, the series of the International Workshop on
Real-Time Ada Issues have provided focus for identifying issues with
Ada 83 and 95; for proposing solutions to those problems; and for
evaluating proposed changes to the language standard.

Since the standardization of Ada 95, the IRTAW series have assisted in
the review of the real-time related chapters of the Guide for the Use
of the Ada Programming Language for High Integrity Systems (ISO/IEC TR
15942:2000) and have developed and promoted the Ravenscar Tasking
Profile.

With the advent of Java and the development of Real Time Specification
for Java, the Workshop has begun to consider the integration of
embedded Ada and Java systems, and their interoperability.

In keeping with this tradition, the goals of IRTAW-12 will be to:
  * examine the shape and the status of the language amendments
    proposed or promoted by previous IRTAW editions, with respect to
    the ongoing Ada language revision process, as well as the demand
    for further enhancements
  * consider the lessons learned from industrial experience with using
    Ada 95 in general and the Ravenscar Profile in particular in
    actual real-time projects
  * examine and develop paradigms for using Ada 95 for real-time
    distributed systems, including issues of robustness as well as of
    hard, flexible and application-defined scheduling
  * consider the impact of the OOP paradigm on multi-threaded,
    possibly distributed, real-time systems
  * review the status and contents of the Guide for the Use of the Ada
    Ravenscar Profile in High Integrity Systems (to become an ISO/IEC
    TR) and examine the issues of certifying software systems
    developed using Ada 95
  * examine the status of and the progress with the Real-Time
    Specifcation for Java and consider user experience with the
    reference implementation and with issues of interoperability with
    Ada in embedded real-time systems.

Participation at IRTAW-12 is by invitation following the submission of
a position paper addressing one or more of the above topics.

Position papers should not exceed six pages. All accepted papers will
appear, in their final form, in the Workshop Proceedings, which will
be published as a special issue of Ada Letters (ACM Press).

Submit position papers, in PDF, to the Program Chair by e-mail at:
