Dear Ada Community: Just wanted to let you know that SIGAda 2001 in Minneapolis, Minnesota is still very much a go. We are planning to start this next Sunday with on-line registration occurring the evening before. There have been several cancellations, but close to 100% of the program is still intact. The cancellations are: Robert Dewar's Keynote Presentation Ben Brosgol & Brian Dobbings presentation on Real-Time Convergence of Ada and Java Zhenqiang Chen, Baowen Xi, and Huiming Yu's presentation on Detecting Concurrently Executing Pairs of Statements using an Adapted MHP Algorithm Ben Brosgol's tutorial on Comparison of Concurrency in Java, C++, and Ada ACT was seriously impacted by the events of 11 September and Robert Dewar and Ben Brosgol will be unable to attend. Our prayers are with them. John McCormick, the Program Chair, and Paul Stachour, the Conference Chair are currently redesigning the schedule in order to best present the program. We are currently looking at several alternative presentations for those not presented and a possible substitute tutorial speaker for Ben's tutorial. If you haven't done so already, please register for the SIGAda 2001 conference as soon as possible. The on-line registration system is located at the SIGAda 2001 Conference Web Site, at: http://www.acm.org/sigada/conf/sigada2001/ following the Registration link. Or, if you prefer, you can go directly to the on-line registration system at: https://sigada2001.safety-site.com/ We are looking forward to an exciting conference. We can guarantee that the conference will demonstrate the power of real-time programming along with intriguing dynamic scheduling algorithms. We will try to send an announcement to those registered by Wednesday to let you know how the schedule looks by the end of this week. Changes may be posted to our web site. Hope to see you next week! v/r Currie Colket Chair ACM SIGAda
