th The 15 edition of the International Conference on Reliable Software Te- nologies - Ada-Europe 2010-took place in the attractive venue of Valencia, deservedly making Spain the most visited country in the conference series. P- vious editions of the conference were held in Switzerland (Montreux 1996 and Geneva2007),United Kingdom(London1997andYork2005),Sweden(Uppsala 1998),Spain(Santander 1999andPalmade Mallorca2004),Germany(Potsdam 2000), Belgium (Leuven 2001), Austria (Vienna 2002), France (Toulouse 2003 and Brest 2009), Portugal (Porto 2006), and Italy (Venice 2008).
