*** News

- AEiC 2021 will be a virtual-only event.

- Deadline for Industrial Presentation outlines and Tutorial proposals
  is extended to 31 March 2021.

*** General Information

The 25 Ada-Europe International Conference on Reliable Software
Technologies (AEiC 2021 aka Ada-Europe 2021), initially scheduled to
take place in Santander, Spain, will be held online from the 7th to
the 11th of June, 2021.  The conference schedule includes a technical
program, vendor exhibition and parallel tutorials and workshops.

Despite the COVID-19 situation which led to the cancellation of the
previous edition of the conference, there is a firm commitment to
celebrate the 2021 edition in any case.  The organizing committee
estimates that the conditions for a safe in-person conference will
not be met in June 2021.  Consequently, the AEiC 2021 Conference will
be a virtual-only event.

                 industrial presentation outlines, and tutorial and
                 invited presentation proposals

30 April 2021:   Notification of acceptance for WiP papers, industrial
                 presentation outlines, and tutorial and invited
                 presentations

*** Call for Journal-Track Papers

The journal-track papers submitted to the conference are full-length
papers that must describe mature research work on the conference
topics.  They must be original and shall undergo anonymous peer review.

Accepted journal-track papers will get a presentation slot within
a technical session of the conference and they will be published in
an open-access special issue of the Journal of Systems Architecture
(Q2 in the JCR and SJR ranks) with no additional costs to authors.
The corresponding authors shall submit their work by 14 January 2021
via the Special Issue web page:
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-systems-architecture/
call-for-papers/special-issue-on-reliable-software-technologies-aeic2021.

Submitted papers must follow the guidelines provided in the
"Guide-for-Authors" of the JSA (https://www.elsevier.com/journals/
journal-of-systems-architecture/1383-7621/guide-for-authors).
In particular, JSA does not impose any restriction on the format or
extension of the submissions.

*** Call for WiP-Track Papers

The Work-in-Progress papers (WiP-track) are short (4-page) papers
describing evolving and early-stage ideas or new research directions.
They must be original and shall undergo anonymous peer review.
The corresponding authors shall submit their work by 31 March 2021, via
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aeic2021, strictly in PDF and
following the Ada User Journal style (http://www.ada-europe.org/auj/).

Authors of accepted WiP-track papers will get a presentation slot
within a regular technical session of the conference and will also
be requested to present a poster.  The papers will be published in
the Ada User Journal as part of the proceedings of the Conference.
The conference is listed in the principal citation databases,
including DBLP, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.  The Ada
User Journal is indexed by Scopus and by EBSCOhost in the Academic
Search Ultimate database.

*** Call for Industrial Presentations

The conference seeks industrial presentations that deliver
insightful information value but may not sustain the strictness
of the review process required for regular papers.  The authors
of industrial presentations shall submit their proposals, in the
form of a short (one or two pages) abstract, by 31 March 2021, via
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aeic2021, strictly in PDF and
following the Ada User Journal style (http://www.ada-europe.org/auj/).

The Industrial Committee will review the submissions anonymously and
make recommendations for acceptance.  The abstract of the accepted
contributions will be included in the conference booklet, and authors
will get a presentation slot within a regular technical session of
the conference.

These authors will also be invited to expand their contributions
into articles for publication in the Ada User Journal, as part of
the proceedings of the Industrial Program of the Conference.

*** Awards

Ada-Europe will offer an honorary award for the best presentation.
All journal-track and industrial presentations are eligible.

*** Call for Invited Presentations

The invited presentations are intended to allow researchers
to present paramount research results that are relevant to the
conference attendees.  There will be no publication associated to
these presentations, which may include previously published works,
relevant new tools, methods or techniques.  The invited presentations
will be allocated a presentation slot.

The Program Committee will select invited presentation proposals that
may be submitted by e-mail to one of the Program Chairs as a one-page
summary of the proposed presentation, along with the information
and/or links required to show the relevance of the covered topic.

*** Call for Educational Tutorials

The conference is seeking tutorials in the form of educational seminars
including hands-on or practical demonstrations.  Proposed tutorials
can be from any part of the reliable software domain, they may be
purely academic or from an industrial base making use of tools used in
current software development environments.  We are also interested in
contemporary software topics, such as IoT and artificial intelligence
and their application to reliability and safety.

Tutorial proposals shall include a title, an abstract, a description
of the topic, an outline of the presentation, the proposed duration
(half day or full day), and the intended level of the tutorial
(introductory, intermediate, or advanced).  All proposals should be
submitted by e-mail to the Educational Tutorial Chair.

The Ada User Journal will offer space for the publication of summaries
of the accepted tutorials.

*** Call for Workshops

Workshops on themes that fall within the conference scope may be
proposed.  Proposals may be submitted for half- or full-day events, to
be scheduled at either end of the conference days.  Workshop proposals
should be submitted by e-mail to the Workshop Chair.  The workshop
organizer shall also commit to producing the proceedings of the event,
for publication in the Ada User Journal.

*** Call for Exhibitors

The commercial exhibition will span the core days of the main
conference.  As an alternative to the traditional physical exhibition,
a virtual room will be provided for exhibition activities.  Vendors
and providers of software products and services should contact the
Exhibition Chair for information and for allowing suitable planning
of the exhibition space and time.
