Authors of the best papers presented at ICST 2016 will be invited to extend their work for possible inclusion in a special issue of Software Testing, Verification, and Reliability, a Wiley journal. Important Dates • Submission of full papers: October 23^rd, 2015. • Notification of acceptance: December 22^nd, 2015. Format Research papers must conform to the two-column IEEE conference publication format. Templates for Latex and Word are available at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html; use the letter format templates and the “conference” option (i.e., not the Computer Society format). Papers must be submitted in PDF format and must not exceed 10 pages (+2 pages for references). ICST uses single-blind reviewing, so please include all author names and affiliations. We invite submission of research and technical papers that describe original and significant work in the research and practice of software testing, verification and validation. Case studies and empirical research papers are also welcome. Papers must neither have been previously accepted for publication nor be under submission in another conference or journal.
