*** General Information

The 27th Ada-Europe International Conference on Reliable Software
Technologies (AEiC 2023) returns to Lisbon, after the 2018 edition,
in the week of 13-16 June. The conference will be an in-presence
only event, with a solid core of activities.

The conference program includes two core days with a keynote talk,
a panel, peer-reviewed academic papers, industrial presentations,
and work-in-progress presentations and posters. The conference
program is bracketed by one day of tutorials, and one day with two
satellite events. There will be time for networking during breaks
as well as during the welcome reception and the conference banquet.

AEiC 2023 is the latest in a series of annual international conferences
started in the early 80's, under the auspices of Ada-Europe, the
international organization that promotes knowledge and use of Ada and
Reliable Software in general, into academic education and research,
and industrial practice.

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

The 2023 edition of the conference continues a number of important
innovations started at the 2019 conference:
- lower registration fee for conference, unified for all participants;
- further reduced fee for all authors;
- lower registration fee for all tutorials;
- journal-based open-access publication model for peer-reviewed papers;
- more compact program with two core days (Wednesday & Thursday);
- tutorials on Tuesday, followed by welcome event for all participants;
- satellite events on Friday.

*** Overview of the Week

- Tue 14: six half-day tutorials, welcome reception
- Wed 15 & Thu 16: core program, conference dinner on Wednesday

Extensive information on AEiC 2023 is on the conference web site,
such as an overview of the program, the list of accepted papers
and presentations, and descriptions of workshops, tutorials, keynote
presentation, panel, and social events. Also check the conference site
for registration, accommodation and travel information. The Advance
Program brochure will shortly be available there as well.

*** Venue

The conference will take place at Hotel Fénix Lisboa, in Lisbon,
Portugal, which is very near downtown. It is easy to reach the hotel
from the airport, by metro or taxi, and from the hotel it is possible
to walk towards downtown to appreciate the inner city offerings.
Portugal has been elected Europe's Leading Destination 2022 at the
World Travel Awards, and Lisbon the Europe's Leading City Break
Destination 2022. Portugal is also considered one of the safest
countries in the world, ranking 6th place in 2022.

*** Invited Speakers

This year the conference will feature a keynote talk on the first day,
and a panel on the second, with three invited speakers/panelists.
The keynote and the panel will address topics of relevance in
the conference scope, with ample time for questions and answers.

- On Wed June 14, a keynote talk by Alcides Fonseca, from LASIGE,
University of Lisbon Faculty of Sciences, who will talk about
"Applications of liquid types for more reliable software".

- On Thu June 15, a panel on the "Promises and Challenges of AI-enabled
Software Development Tools for Safety-Critical Applications" will
bring around the table three experts: Douglas Schmidt (Vanderbilt
University, USA), Jochen Quante (Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany),
and Jon Pérez Cerrolaza (IKERLAN, Spain).

*** Conference Core Composition

The core conference program features three distinct types of technical
presentations, with different duration, in addition to the keynote
talk and the pannel session: journal-track talks (30 minutes),
industrial-track talks (20 minutes), work-in-progress-track talks
(10 minutes).

All papers presented in the journal track, the industrial track and
the work-in-progress track have undergone peer review. Presentations
are combined into by-theme and not by-track sessions, in order that
authors and participants alike enjoy all flavors of the program in
a mixed as opposed to segregated combination.

Reliability and Performance, Verification and Validation 2,
Reliable Programming, Real-Time Systems
