    The conference 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 allow ample time for keynotes,
    Q&A sessions and discussions, and social events. Participants include practitioners and researchers from industry, academia and government organizations active in the promotion and development of reliable
    software technologies.

    *** Call for Regular Papers
    The regular papers submitted to the conference must be original and
    shall undergo anonymous peer review. The authors shall submit their
    work by 28 January 2019, in PDF only, and up to 16 LNCS-style pages
    in length, via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ae2019.
    The conference is listed in the principal citation databases, including
    DBLP, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The authors of the
    papers that will appear in the conference proceedings will be invited
    to extend their work for submission to a Special Issue of Elsevier's
    Journal of Systems Architecture, centered on the conference themes.
    *** Proceedings
    The conference proceedings will appear in Springer's Lecture Notes
    in Computer Science (LNCS) series, and will be available at the
    conference, both online and in print. The authors of accepted
    regular papers shall prepare camera-ready submissions in full
    conformance with the LNCS style, strictly by 16 March 2019.
    For format and style guidelines, the authors should refer to http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Failure to comply and
    to register at least one author for the conference by that date will
    prevent the paper from appearing in the proceedings.
    *** 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, of at
    least 1 page in length, by 28 January 2019, strictly in PDF, via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ae2019.
    The Industrial Committee will review the submissions anonymously
    and make recommendations for acceptance. The authors of accepted
    contributions shall be requested to submit a 2-page abstract by 16
    March 2019, for inclusion in the conference booklet, and be invited to
    deliver a 20-minute talk at the conference. These authors will also
    be invited to expand their contributions into articles for publication
    in the Ada User Journal (http://www.ada-europe.org/auj/), as part of
    the proceedings of the Industrial Program of the Conference. For any
    further information, please contact the Industrial Chair directly.
    *** Awards
    Ada-Europe will offer honorary awards for the best regular paper and
    the best presentation.
    *** Call for Educational Tutorials
    The conference seeks tutorials in the form of educational seminars that
    may include hands-on or practical demonstrations. Proposed tutorials
    can address any part of the reliable software domain, and may have an
    academic or industrial slant from technology perspective. All software
    topics and their application to reliability and safety are welcome.
    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), and most importantly a statement expressing
    why it will be worthwhile to attend the tutorial. Tutorial proposals
    shall be submitted to the Educational Tutorial Chair.
    The authors of accepted full-day tutorials will receive a complimentary conference registration. For half-day tutorials, this benefit is
    halved. The Ada User Journal will offer space for the publication
    of summaries of the accepted tutorials.
    *** Call for Workshops
    Workshops on themes 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 week. Workshop proposals
    shall be submitted 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. Interested providers of software products and services
    should send inquiries to the Exhibition Chair.
    *** Venue
    The conference will take place in Warsaw, Poland, at the Engineering
    Design Center, a partnership of General Electric and the Institute of
    Aviation, one of Europe's largest engineering institutions.
