CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS



Third IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation (ICST 2010)


April 6-9 2010,
Paris, France



http://vps.it-sudparis.eu/icst2010/ 


 


Validation, testing and verification activities are already flourishing areas with an 
active participation of a large community of researchers, experts and industrials. 
This community is highly aware of the importance and impact of testing on the future 
deployment and use of software and software intensive systems. 
As illustrated during the two previous successful ICST editions, intensive research 
activities are being carried out in software testing, verification and validation areas.
Many new important issues and challenges are constantly being raised leading to 
new research and industrial projects. 
The IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation (ICST) 
is the premier conference in these areas.


ICST welcomes research papers as well as industrial experience reports from software 
development and testing practitioners. Two tracks will be organised to select the 
accepted papers. 
For the research papers, we are looking for high quality papers presenting original work. Industrial
papers should address practical software testing and quality improvement challenges and
implementations, presenting empirical results or reporting on open problems/challenges. All papers
should discuss broader implications and usage of the topics addressed.

Authors of best papers from the conference will be invited to revise and submit extended 
versions of their papers for a special issue of Software Testing, Verification, and 
Reliability, a Wiley journal.
