    *** General Information

    The 28th Ada-Europe International Conference on Reliable Software
    Technologies (AEiC 2024) will take place in Barcelona, Spain.

    AEiC is a leading international forum for providers, practitioners,
    and researchers in reliable software technologies. The conference presentations will illustrate current work in the theory and practice
    of the design, development, and maintenance of long-lived, high-quality software systems for a challenging variety of application domains.
    The program will also include keynotes, Q&A and discussion sessions,
    and social events. Participants include practitioners and researchers
    from industry, academia, and government organizations active in the
    development of reliable software technologies.

    The topics of interest for the conference include but are not limited
    to (more specific topics are described on the conference web page):
    * Formal and Model-Based Engineering of Critical Systems;
    * High-Integrity Systems and Reliability;
    * AI for High-Integrity Systems Engineering;
    * Real-Time Systems;
    * Ada Language;
    * Applications in Relevant Domains.

    The conference comprises different tracks and co-located events:
    * Journal track papers present research advances supported by solid
    theoretical foundation and thorough evaluation.
    * Industrial track contributions highlight industrial open challenges
    and/or the practitioners' side of a relevant case study or industrial
    project.
    * Work-in-progress track papers illustrate novel research ideas
    that are still at an initial stage, between conception and first
    prototype.
    * Tutorials guide attenders through a hands-on familiarization with
    innovative developments or with useful features related to reliable
    software.
    * Workshops provide discussion forums on themes related to the
    conference topics.
    * Vendor presentations and exhibitions allow for companies to showcase
    their latest products and services.

    *** Important Dates

    11-14 June 2024 Conference

    *** Call for Journal Track Submissions

    Following a journal-first model, this edition of the conference
    includes a journal track, which seeks original and high-quality
    papers that describe mature research work on the conference topics.
    Accepted journal track papers will be published in a Special Issue
    of Elsevier JSA - the Journal of Systems Architecture (Q1 ranked,
    CiteScore 8.5, impact factor 4.5). Accordingly, the conference
    is listed as "Journal Published" in the latest update of the CORE
    Conference Ranking released in August 2023.

    [Submission details removed. Call is closed now.]

    Authors who have successfully passed the first round of review will
    be invited to present their work at the conference. The abstract of
    the accepted contributions will be included in the conference booklet.
    The Ada-Europe organization will waive the Open Access fees for
    the first four accepted papers (whose authors do not already enjoy
    Open Access agreements). Subsequent papers will follow JSA regular
    publishing track.

    *** Call for Industrial Track Submissions

    The conference seeks industrial practitioner presentations that deliver
    insight on the challenges of developing reliable software. Especially
    welcome kinds of submissions are listed on the conference website.
    Given their applied nature, such contributions will be subject to a
    dedicated practitioner-peer review process. Interested authors shall
    submit a 1-to-2 pages abstract, by 26 February 2024, via EasyChair
    at https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=aeic2024, selecting the
    "Industrial Track". The format for submission is strictly in PDF,
    following the Ada User Journal style. Templates are available at http://www.ada-europe.org/auj/guide.

    The abstract of the accepted contributions will be included in the
    conference booklet. The corresponding authors will get a presentation
    slot in the prime-time technical program of the conference and will
    also be invited to expand their contributions into full-fledged
    articles for publication in the Ada User Journal, which will form the proceedings of the industrial track of the Conference. Prospective
    authors may direct all enquiries regarding this track to its chairs
    Luciana Provenzano (luciana.provenzano@mdu.se) and Michael Pressler (Michael.Pressler@de.bosch.com).

    *** Call for Work-in-Progress Track Submissions

    The work-in-progress track seeks two kinds of submissions: (a) ongoing
    research and (b) early-stage ideas. Ongoing research submissions
    are 4-page papers describing research results that are not mature
    enough to be submitted to the journal track. Early-stage ideas are
    1-page papers that pitch new research directions that fall within
    the scope of the conference. Both kinds of submissions must be
    original and shall undergo anonymous peer review. Submissions
    by recent MSc graduates and PhD students are especially sought.
    Authors shall submit their work by 26 February 2024, via EasyChair
    at https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=aeic2024, selecting the "Work-in-Progress Track". The format for submission is strictly in
    PDF, following the Ada User Journal style. Templates are available
    at http://www.ada-europe.org/auj/guide.

    The abstract of the accepted contributions will be included in the
    conference booklet. The corresponding authors will get a presentation
    slot in the prime-time technical program of the conference and
    will also be offered the opportunity to expand their contributions
    into 4-page articles for publication in the Ada User Journal,
    which will form the proceedings of the WiP track of the Conference.
    Prospective authors may direct all enquiries regarding this track
    to the corresponding chairs Alejandro R. Mosteo (amosteo@unizar.es)
    and Ruben Martins (rubenm@andrew.cmu.edu).

    *** Awards

    The organization will offer an honorary award for the best technical presentation, to be announced in the closing session of the conference.

    *** Call for Tutorials

    The conference seeks tutorials in the form of educational seminars
    on themes falling within the conference scope, with an academic or
    practitioner slant, including hands-on or practical elements. 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), the intended level of the contents (introductory,
    intermediate, or advanced), and a statement motivating attendance.
    Tutorial proposals shall be submitted at any time but no later
    than the 26 February 2024 to the respective chair Maria A. Serrano (maria.serrano@nearbycomputing.com), with subject line: "[AEiC 2024:
    tutorial proposal]". Once submitted, each tutorial proposal will
    be evaluated by the conference organizers as soon as possible,
    with decisions from January 1st. The authors of accepted full-day
    tutorials will receive a complimentary conference registration, halved
    for half-day tutorials. The Ada User Journal will offer space for
    the publication of summaries of the accepted tutorials.

    *** Call for Workshops

    The conference welcomes satellite workshops centred on themes that fall
    within the conference scope. Proposals may be submitted for half- or
    full-day events, to be scheduled at either end of the AEiC conference.
    Workshop organizers shall also commit to producing the proceedings of
    the event, for publication in the Ada User Journal. Workshop proposals
    shall be submitted at any time but no later than the 26 February
    2024 to the respective chair Sergio Saez (ssaez@disca.upv.es), with
    subject line: "[AEiC 2024: workshop proposal]". Once submitted, each
    workshop proposal will be evaluated by the conference organizers as
    soon as possible, with decisions from January 1st.
