    Topics
    ------
    The conference has over the years become a leading international
    forum for providers, practitioners and researchers in reliable
    software technologies. The conference presentations will illustrate
    current work in the theory and practice of the design, development
    and maintenance of long-lived, high-quality software systems for
    a challenging variety of application domains. The program will
    allow ample time for keynotes, Q&A sessions and discussions, and
    social events. Participants include practitioners and researchers
    representing industry, academia and government organizations active
    in the promotion and development of reliable software technologies.

    This edition of Ada-Europe features a focused Special Session on
    Reliable and Safe Robotics. Following the increasing trend of robotic
    systems in industrial and public environments it is more and more
    important to address software systems to control autonomous vehicles.
    This special topic discusses issues regarding challenging problems in
    the field of autonomous navigation and sensor fusion. Topics include
    (but are not limited to): frameworks for robotics, planning and system modelling, as well as multi-agent and logistics applications.

    For the general track of the conference, topics of interest include
    but are not limited to (full list on the website): Real-Time and
    Embedded Systems, Mixed-Criticality Systems, Theory and Practice of High-Integrity Systems, Software Architectures, Methods and Techniques
    for Software Development and Maintenance, Formal Methods, Ada
    Language and Technologies, Software Quality, Mainstream and Emerging Applications, Experience Reports in Reliable System Development,
    Experiences with Ada.
