A renewed sponsorship of the annual High Integrity Software Conference has been announced by AdaCore and Altran, which will take place in Bristol on 1st November 2016. Following a successful conference in 2014 and 2015, organisers the University of Newcastle, AdaCore and Altran have once again compiled a complete technical programme to be delivered by prominent academic and industrial experts, covering topics including security, autonomy, standards and techniques and tools.

This programme will be complemented by keynote talks discussing two of the high integrity software community’s most debated topics: ‘Reasoning with Big Code from Dr Dino Stefano of Facebook and An Alternative Approach to DO-178’ from Duncan Brown of Rolls-Royce.

The conference has gone from strength to strength since its inauguration in 2014. As well as the sponsorship of organisers AdaCore and Altran, this year it will benefit from the additional official support of key players BAE Systems and Jaguar Land Rover, a vote of confidence in the conference’s important objective of sharing best practice in the context of today’s increasing reliance on software in performing critical industrial tasks.

Commercial Team Lead at AdaCore, Jamie Ayre said: “HIS is one of the best conferences we attend globally due to the quality of the programme, the relevance of the exhibitors and the industries represented by the attendees.”

Ayre added: “We hope that the conference continues to grow from strength to strength with each edition.”

Stuart Matthews, SPARK Product Manager at Altran UK, said: “We are delighted once again to be involved in this key annual conference for the software industry. This year, support has been added by two major UK companies, BAE Systems and Jaguar Land Rover, reinforcing the position of the conference as a focus for sharing experience and innovations in the field of trustworthy software development.”
