CALL FOR PAPERS
Scope
CAST 2007 is now accepting papers that offer insight and understandingabout software testing. The topics of the papers should be relevant tothe conference theme: Testing Techniques: Innovations andApplications. (Special consideration will be given if your paper orexperience report includes lessons learned from an important failure.)
Both academic research papers and industry experience reports arewelcome. Whether you are experimenting with testing theory or engaging in a testing practice, the focus of CAST is to provide an exchange ofideas between industry and academia.
CAST 2007 has been designed as forum to stimulate discussions leadingto innovation in the software testing community. As such, papers andexperience reports accepted by the Program Committee may bechallenged, debated, and discussed. One distinguishing feature of thisconference is that significant interaction among presenters andattendees is encouraged and facilitated by building flexibility intothe schedule so that topics generating high energy can be exploredmore deeply without adversely disrupting the course of conference events.
Another distinguishing feature of CAST 2007 is that paper andpresentation acceptance will not be biased toward individuals who havea history of professional speaking. It is the program committee's intention to provide an opportunity for practitioners and scholars whomay have limited speaking experience but whose ideas are unique,fresh, and timely in the field of software testing.
The conference is for those who want to discuss and debate testingtopics. Trained facilitators will ensure that discussion sessions areappropriately structured and productive. Discussion sessions will havea recorder, and transcripts or summaries of the discussions will bemade available to participants after the conference.
