Saturday, 21 March 2020

The containment measures put in place on a world scale against the COVID-19 pandemic, which is affecting us all so severely, have taken precedence in everybody's personal and professional life. The consequent regulations issued by national governments and public health authorities in the regard of public gatherings, oblige us to cancel the Ada-Europe International Conference 2020 (AEiC 2020), scheduled for 8-12 June 2020, in Santander, Spain.

Consequent to that obligation, the organizing committee and its principal sponsor Ada-Europe have made a number of decisions, which we wish to share with authors, sponsors, participants and any other interested parties.

In regard to the calendar of events promoted by Ada-Europe:

- Santander, Spain, will be the venue of the next Ada-Europe International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies in June 2021.

- The venue originally earmarked for the 2021 edition of the AEiC, Ghent, Belgium, will be the prime candidate to host the 2022 edition of the conference.

- Selected elements of the technical program of the 2020 conference program will be considered for presentation at an Ada event co-organized with the International Real-Time Ada Workshop (IRTAW 2020), now tentatively postponed to late October 2020, near Valencia, Spain. The details of that event will be announced in due course, contingent on the lifting of current sanitary restrictions.

In regard to the elements of the 2020 conference program:

- The processing of the Journal-track submissions continues seamlessly, with a view to ensuring prompt open-access publication to those that gain acceptance. The authors of the accepted papers will be invited to present their work at the 2021 conference.

- The authors of the Industrial Presentations that are accepted after review will be invited to forward their work to the Ada User Journal for immediate publication.

- The call for Work-in-Progress submissions is cancelled. The prospective authors are invited to forward their work to the Ada User Journal for consideration.

We express our heartfelt friendship to all members of our community and their families in these difficult times, and look forward to the restoration of a safe normality.

See you all soon!

The Ada-Europe Board
