The 19th International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies
- Ada-Europe 2014 takes place in Paris, France, from June 23 to 27,
2014.  It is an exciting event with an outstanding technical program,
keynote talks, and exhibition from Tuesday to Thursday, and a rich
program of workshops and tutorials on Monday and Friday.

The conference is hosted by ECE, a French engineering school located
near the Tour Eiffel, right in the heart of Paris, with convenient
connections to all places of interest, and lots of facilities around.
An event not to be missed!

The Ada-Europe series of conferences has become established as a
successful international forum for providers, practitioners and
researchers in all aspects of reliable software technologies.
These events highlight the increased relevance of Ada in safety-
and security-critical systems, and provide a unique opportunity
for interaction and collaboration between academics and industrial
practitioners.

Extensive information is available on the conference web site, such as
the list of accepted papers and industrial presentations, and detailed
descriptions of all workshops, tutorials and keynote presentations.
Also check the conference web site for registration, accommodation
and travel information.
