ICST Call for Contributions
An new series of IEEE international conferences launches next April in Norway on the subject area of “software testing, verification and validation”. I post the call for contributions on our Model Driven Testing Blog because model-based testing is one of the key areas for this new conference. The call is below:
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
1st IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation (ICST 2008)
Sponsor: IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Software Engineering (TCSE)
April 9-11, 2008, Lillehammer, Norway
http://www.cs.colostate.edu/icst2008/index.html
There has been very strong activity in the field of testing and validation research, as reflected in recent years by numerous workshops dealing with testing in different areas. The new IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation (ICST) will offer an open forum for software testing, verification and validation research and its transfer to practice. Among other things, it aims at stimulating scientific research on model-based software testing, domain specific testing, empirical studies of testing techniques, and the technology transfer of research results to software development practices.
We invite original, high-quality research papers and industrial experience papers in all areas of software testing, verification and validation.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Software testing theory and practice
- Model-based testing
- Domain specific testing including, but not limited to,
security testing, web services testing, database testing,
and OO software testing
- Verification & Validation
- Quality Assurance
- Model checking
- Empirical studies
- Metrics
- Inspections
- Tools
- Testability and diagnosability
- Design for testability
- Testing education
- Testing in multidisciplinary applications
- Embedded software
- Technology transfer
- Model-Driven Engineering
- Novel approaches to software reliability assessment
