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.

Topics of interest to this edition of the conference include but are
not limited to:

Call for Industrial Presentations
---------------------------------
The conference seeks industrial presentations which deliver value
and insight but may not fit the selection process for regular
papers.  Authors are invited to submit a presentation outline of
exactly 1 page in length by January 19, 2014.  Submissions shall be
made via EasyChair following the relevant link on the conference web
site.  The Industrial Committee will review the submissions and make
the selection.  The authors of selected presentations shall prepare
a final short abstract and submit it by May 18, 2014, aiming at a
20-minute talk.  The authors of accepted presentations will be invited
to submit corresponding articles for publication in the Ada User
Journal, which will host the proceedings of the Industrial Program
of the Conference.  For any further information please contact the
Industrial Chair directly.

Call for Tutorials
------------------
Tutorials should address subjects that fall within the scope of the
conference and may be proposed as either half-or full-day events.
Proposals should include a title, an abstract, a description of the
topic, a detailed outline of the presentation, a description of the
presenter's lecturing expertise in general and with the proposed
topic in particular, the proposed duration (half day or full day),
the intended level of the tutorial (introductory, intermediate, or
advanced), the recommended audience experience and background, and a
statement of the reasons for attending.  Proposals should be submitted
by e-mail to the Tutorial Chair.  The authors of accepted full-day
tutorials will receive a complimentary conference registration as well
as a fee for every paying participant in excess of 5; for half-day
tutorials, these benefits will be accordingly halved.  The Ada User
Journal will offer space for the publication of summaries of the
accepted tutorials.

Call for Workshops
------------------
