The 23rd International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies - Ada-Europe 2018 will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from June 18 to 22. As per its traditional style, the conference will span a full week, including, from Tuesday to Thursday, three days of scientific, technical and industrial programs, along with tutorials and workshops on Monday and Friday.
The Ada-Europe series of conferences has over the years become a leading international forum for providers, practitioners and researchers in reliable software technologies. These events highlight the increased relevance of Ada in general and in safety- and security-critical systems in particular, and provide a unique opportunity for interaction and collaboration between academics and industrial practitioners.
Extensive information is available on the conference web site, such as an overview of the program, the list of accepted papers and industrial presentations, and descriptions of workshops, tutorials, keynote presentations, and social events.
