    The 23rd International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies
    - Ada-Europe 2018 will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from June 18

    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
