Dear Ada Community:
The following changes are planned for the SIGAda 2001 Conference.

Real-Time Features in Ada, Java, and POSIX", will be
given by Jean-Pierre Rosen instead of Ben Brosgol
Tue, Oct 2: Keynote Address: "Future Development of the Ada
Language", Robert Dewar, has been replaced by
"Architecture-based Software Development on the
Crusader Program", Scott Edgerton. Scott's presentation
was originally scheduled for Thursday Morning.
Tue, Oct 2: Topic "Real-Time Convergence of Ada and Java", Ben
Brosgol & Brian Dobbing replaced by "Logic or Magic"

address at Ada-Europe and was well received there.
Wed, Oct 3: Topic "Detecting Concurrently Executing Pairs of
Statements using an Adapted MHP Algorithm", Zhenqiang
Chen, Baowen Xu, & Huiming Yu; has been canceled
Thu, Oct 4: Topic "Architecture-based Software Development on
the Crusader Program" which was moved to Tuesday, will
be replaced by "Ada Experiences Panel", Robert
Lockwood, Bill Rusinak, David Glessner, Elizabeth
Theesfeld.
Please see the attached message from Robert Dewar. For those who have
yet to register, please also see attachment 2 which contains information
on how to do so.
Thank you for bearing with us as we make adjustments to the schedule.
Special thanks to the SIGAda 2001 Conference Committee for quickly
reacting and to those who are helping make this happen. Hopefully all
other changes will be minor in comparison.
I am looking forward to a technically important conference! Hope you can
come. Looking forward to seeing you at SIGAda 2001!!!

Currie Colket
Chair ACM SIGAda
P.S. I apologize to those who receive this multiple times.
