Traditionally, SIGAda conferences have solicited papers through a Call For Participation (CFP). Submitted papers had been double blind refereed. SIGAda 2000 will be a special departure from this tradition, as it will consist of invited presentations. This approach is favored for our millennium conference as a mechanism to provide current updates on key Ada technologies and successes, all presented by recog- nized experts. This will allow the conference to be focused on the key contributions of Ada to the sound software engineering of reliable systems.
