I am surprised that the _title_s are taken from the preliminary submissions and not the final papers. No big deal, but you have had the final papers in hand for quite some time now!

Oops, very sorry for broadcasting by mistake, it's a mistake I seldom make and I realized as soon as my finger left the keyboard, but too late!

NOTE: For more information on TRI-Ada '94, answers to your questions not covered by the contents of this posting, etc., please do not reply to me by email.  Instead, contact Danieli & O'Keefe as described below. Thanks. gom =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-= TRI-Ada '94 Advanced Program (ASCII email version) The future of Ada and systems architecture is developing right here.                    TRI-Ada '94 Conference & Expo   Baltimore Convention Center, Baltimore, Maryland, November 6-11                  The Language for a Complex World. ACM: Advancing Human Capabilities through information technology Message from the Chair: As Chairman of the TRI-Ada '94 conference in Baltimore, Maryland, I would like to invite all of you who have participated in past TRI-Ada conferences to put TRI- Ada '94 on your calendars. The dates are November 6 through 11, 1994. I would also like to invite professionals from disciplines other than from the world of Ada to join us in Baltimore to explore issues and ideas which are not only relevant to Ada environments, but C++, Pascal, Smalltalk, FORTRAN and others, as well. System architecture and architects are now emerging in the complex fields of communications, information processing, aerospace and the manufacturing industries. The systems architects are specialists in complexity within the context of an underlying engineering discipline. E. Rechtin. System architectures for the 90's will require coordination and communication between software engineers, hardware engineers and communication engineers. TRI-Ada '94 is the forum to facilitate systems architecting. I am looking for strong participation from not only the DoD professionals, but from the professionals who deal with the limitations of their current environments and wonder how it could be re-engineered to more effectively deal with the fast paced changes in technologies of today. I am very encouraged by the efforts of the DoD to bring Ada to the commercial world as well as the DoD. The TRI-Ada '94 Organizing Committee has put together a program to reflect the educational needs of both the DoD and commercial companies. The keynote speakers for this year's conference are the Honorable Emmett Paige Jr., the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence, and Mr. Joe Pollizzi, Senior Project Engineer in the Operations Software Branch (OS of the Space Telescope Science Institute. Mr. Paige will bring his insight and vision for the use of Ada in the DoD and the plans for technology transfer to industry in general. Mr. Pollizzi manages a group of Software and System Engineers in the evolution and deployment of the archive systems for the Hubble Space Telescope. Mr. Pollizzi will explore the 'lessons learned' borne from his experiences in evolving large systems to meet actual needs (and maybe show a few slides from space!). We invite everyone to come and explore the TRI-Ada '94 conference and the beautiful city of Baltimore, Maryland. I look forward to seeing all of you in Baltimore in 1994! Peter Kortmann Conference Chair President, Tri-Pacific Consulting Corporation Architecting systems for the 90's and beyond With every day that passes, the computer software industry becomes more and more competitive. You want your business to succeed and become a leader.  What is it that will propel you into the next century? Reuse? Process Improvement? _object_-Oriented Technologies? While technology fads come and go, a blend of these ingredients and many others can be described in one word - Architecture. If these issues are important to you, then you need to join other world class experts at TRI-Ada '94. TRI-Ada '94 is the largest conference of the year on computing, software, software engineering, and Ada. You'll find more than 50 intensive workshops and tutorials on client/server and distributed environments, _object_-oriented development, Ada 9X, software process improvement, business process re-engineering and other critical information that will help you develop the future this November, in Baltimore. You'll also see an exposition hall filled with what's new in CASE, and Ada- related products and services. Basically, anyone concerned with sharpening their competitive edge in a rapidly changing technological world should not miss TRI-Ada '94.

Enjoy hors d'oeuvres, drinks and regional specialties while checking out the latest and greatest Ada- related products and services. All conferees, tutorial attendees, and management session participants are welcome. Keynote Session Tuesday 8:30-10:00 a.m. The Honorable Emmett Paige Jr., Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence Mr. Joe Pollizzi, Senior Project Engineer in the Operations Software Branch (OS of the Space Telescope Science Institute Special Management Session Tuesday 2:00-6:00 p.m. Technology changes today are occurring at Warp Speed, more quickly than our training and acquisition cycles can function. How do organizations and people cope with this fast paced change? What guidelines can help us adapt to an environment where the only consistent factor is change? What role can process engineering and process architectures play in helping us to manage the changes that we are required to face? Leading authorities will address these issues in a half-day session for managers and software/system professionals. Ada's Aquatic Adventure Wednesday 7:00-10:00 p.m. Dive into the fun as we enjoy a private viewing of the National Aquarium in Baltimore.
