Focused workshops are important in evolving software development technologies to better meet the needs of the Ada community, particularly regarding Reliable and Secure Systems. Workshops are free for those registered for the conference. The following workshops are currently planned for SIGAda 2008.

• GNAT BoF: Where Would You Like To See GNAT Go?, Greg Gicca
  Wednesday, October 29, 4:00 - 5:30 PM

  This BoF will discuss future directions for the GNAT technology, including both the GAP and Pro versions. We at AdaCore will give some of our thoughts on interesting future possibilities, but mostly we would like to hear from the user community, so we see this session as an open discussion of interesting ideas for the future. This is a chance for you to say what you want -- for example, some additional libraries or bindings -- and have your ideas discussed!

Additional workshops or Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions are welcome. Workshops have a focused objective and result in a report to be published in Ada Letters. BoFs are informal discussion groups. If you would like to propose a Workshop or BoF, please contact the Workshops Chair, Bill Thomas, BThomas at MITRE.Org
