IFIP Testcom'2005: Call for Participation

The 17th IFIP International Conference on Testing of Communicating Systems

"Meeting Software Testing"

Concordia University, Montreal, Canada

May 30th – June 2d, 2005

Web page: http://testcom2005.encs.concordia.ca/

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
TestCom is a series of international working conferences on testing
communicating systems, including communication protocols, services,
distributed platforms, middlware , etc. Application domains include, but 
are not
limited to, the automobile industry, avionics, banking, e-commerce, health,
military, and telecommunications systems. Communicating systems testing and
general-purpose software testing research streams have evolved in 
parallel over
the last two decades. Different methods have been proposed taking into 
account
the specificities of respective domains. The time has come to seek for 
cross-
fertilization between these two streams of research. On the other hand,
communicating systems have evolved from traditional communication protocols
to more advanced architectures, and new paradigms and architectures such 
as,
Applications Programming Interfaces (APIs), Web services, Ad-Hoc networks,
etc. TestCom will provide a forum for researchers, vendors and users to 
review,
discuss and learn about new approaches, concepts and experiences in the 
field
of testing of communicating systems, reactive systems and general-purpose
software.

TestCom 2005 will consist of:

Two tutorials:

- Model-Driven Engineering MDA, MOF, OCL, Model Transformers, and Their
Application to Testing, by Hajo Eichler (Fraunhofer FOKUS) and Ina
Schieferdecker (Technical University Berlin/ Fraunhofer FOKUS), Berlin,
Germany

- Modeling and Test Generation for Voice Over IP Applications: 
Challenges and
Solutions, by Umit Uyar, City University of New York, USA and James Allen,
Avaya, New Jersey, USA,

One keynote address by Professor Tom Maibaum on The Epistemology of
Validation and Verification Testing, and

24 technical papers organized into 8 sessions.

IMPORTANT DATES:

- March 30, 2005: Early Registration Deadline
- May 30, 2005: Tutorial Day
- May 31 – June 02, 2005: Technical Programme
