  *********************************************************

Submissions of student papers for  the 11th Annual National Conference
on Ada Technology are now being accepted.   As Ada has become an
integral part of many computer science programs, opportunities have
grown for valuable student experiences with Ada in the classroom and
beyond.  In concert with the conference theme, "Ada: Building Block of
Software Engineering", we are seeking student perspectives on projects
within the software engineering framework and from all areas of
the computer science curriculum, including applications in data
structures, database management, operating systems, real time systems,
and computer graphics.

Support for lodging for student presenters may be available.

Submit papers to:
    Ms. Kay Trezza, HQ CECOM, Center for Software Engineering
    Bldg. 1210, ATTN:
    AEL-RD-SE-CRM
    Ft. Monmouth, NJ  07703-5000

Submission Deadline: Oct. 23, 1992

Conference Dates: March 15-18, 1993
Williamsburg Hilton and National Conference Center
Williamsburg, VA.

Conference announcement follows.




         Don't miss this opportunity to participate in the 11th Annual
National Conference on Ada Technology in historic Williamsburg, Virginia.

Ada has now become an effective, reliable language, with a maturing
set of programming environment tools.  Ada has had a beneficial role
in encouraging more effective approaches to design and development,
and will itself soon be updated to reflect the 9X features.

With the current emphasis on software process improvement, software
engineering curricula, and software engineering environments, we see
signs of a maturing field.  We thus believe it is appropriate in the
1993 Conference to emphasize the broader context of software engineering,
while continuing to emphasize Ada as an important "building block"
of this dynamic field.

We invite participants in all aspects of software engineer-ing to
attend and actively participate in the 11th Annual Conference.
We are interested in papers on applied aspects of software engineering,
including lessons learned, by practitioners in government and industry.
We also invite papers on experimentation and research from government,
industry, and academia including research-oriented universities,
teaching-oriented schools and minority institutions.  We invite papers
from professors and from their students -- including advanced
undergraduate and graduate students.

Plan now to participate actively in this conference, and make it a
valuable experience for all of us!
