                   CALL FOR PARTICIPATION


Over  the  last  decade,  the  International  Real-Time  Ada
Workshops  have  provided  a  focus for identifying problems
with Ada 83, proposing  solutions  for  those  problems  and
evaluating proposed language changes.

Ada 95 is now an ISO standard and  validated  compilers  are
beginning  to  emerge.   The availability of both commercial
and  free  compilers  means  that  Ada 95  is now capable of
reaching a wide selection of the real-time community.

The goals of the 8th IRTAW are to:

o    examine and develop paradigms  for  using  Ada  95  for
     real-time  single  processor,  multiprocess and distri-
     buted systems (including issues of  hard  and  flexible
     scheduling).

o    consider reports on experiences with using  Ada  95  on
     actual real-time projects.

o    identify the benefits  and  impacts  of  using  object-
     oriented programming in multi tasking (potentially dis-
     tributed) real-time systems.

o    explore the use of Ada 95 in  developing  multi-tasking
     components  which  are  resilient  to  software  design
     errors and hardware failures.

o    develop criteria for the use of Ada 95 in safety criti-
     cal systems.

o    understand the important aspects of implementing Ada 95
     run-time  support  systems for the Safety Critical Sys-
     tems, Systems Programming,  Real-Time  and  Distributed
     Systems Annexes.


Participation at the Workshop is by invitation following the
submission of a Position Paper addressing one or more of the
above topics.

Position papers should be between five and ten  pages.   All
accepted  papers  will  appear  in  the Workshop Proceedings
which will be published as a special edition of Ada Letters.

Five copies of Position Papers should be sent to:

    Dr A.J. Wellings
    Department of Computer Science
    University of York
    Heslington
    York, YO1 5DD
    U.K.


Alternatively, email a postscript version of  the  paper  to
Andy Wellings (andy@minster.york.ac.uk).
