The 20th International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies
- Ada-Europe 2015 takes place in Madrid, Spain, from June 22 to 26,
2015. It is an exciting event with an outstanding technical program,
keynote talks, exhibition and networking from Tuesday to Thursday,
and a rich program of workshops and tutorials on Monday and Friday.

The conference is hosted by ETSIT-UPM, the engineering school of the
Polytechnic University of Madrid, which covers teaching and research
in all fields related to Information and Communications Technology,
and is one of the leading institutions in that field in Spain.

The Ada-Europe series of conferences has become established as a
successful international forum for providers, practitioners and
researchers in all aspects of reliable software technologies.
These events highlight the increased relevance of Ada in safety-
and security-critical systems, and provide a unique opportunity
for interaction and collaboration between academics and industrial
practitioners.

Extensive information is available on the conference web site, such as
the list of accepted papers and industrial presentations, and detailed
descriptions of all workshops, tutorials and keynote presentations.
