"transferring software testing technology from academia to
industry." TAIC PART aims to forge collaborations between industry
and academia. The goals of TAIC PART 2008 include the articulation
of fundamental research questions in the field of software testing
and analysis. TAIC PART also focuses on the practical challenges
that are often faced by software developers in industry.
-----------------

-----------------
- Experience reports should provide practical and generalizable
insights into how to apply and extend existing approaches to
software testing and analysis.
- Tool papers must focus on the design, implementation, and
evaluation of software testing and analysis tools.
- Original Research papers will explore novel software testing
techniques. These papers should furnish a detailed theoretical
and/or empirical evaluation of the proposed approach.
- Industry Challenge papers must have at least one author whose
affiliation in non-academic. These papers will describe a
real-world software testing problem for which help is sought
from the academic research community.
- Academic Challenge papers must have at least one author
whose affiliation in non-industry. These papers should explain
a software testing research problem for which help is sought
from industry partners.
------------------
Paper Evaluation
------------------
All papers will undergo a rigorous examination by at least
three members of the program committee. The Program Co-Chairs and
the Program Committee will provide thoughtful and fair reviews
that furnish detailed insights into ways for improving and
extending the papers. All submitted papers will be
evaluated according to (i) relevance to the conference themes and
goals and (ii) clarity and organization.
- Experience reports will be evaluated with respect to the
significance and generality of the described testing experience.
- Research and tool papers will be judged by the technical merit,
novelty, and evaluation of the described technique or tool.
- Industry and academic challenge papers will be assessed
according to their ability to forge partnerships and ultimately
yield successful solutions.
The results described in the submitted paper must be unpublished
and should not be under review at other workshops, conferences, or
journals.
------------------
Paper Formatting
------------------
Papers should be formatted using the IEEE conference style
format. Including all references and figures, a research paper
must not exceed the ten page limit and the experience, tool, and
industry and academic challenge papers should not be longer than
five pages. Papers should have an abstract that is no longer than
150 words. Please be aware that if your paper is accepted, the
abstract may appear in the advance program and on the TAIC PART
2008 Web site. Authors should submit a PDF version of their paper
using the conference submission system. More details about paper
submission will be posted to the TAIC PART Web site in the near
future.
