Call For Workshop Contributions
Goal
The IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification, and Validation (ICST) is one of the premier
conferences for research in all areas related to software quality. The conference has a history of hosting many
workshops that provide a collaborative forum for participants to exchange preliminary results, conduct intensive
discussions on a particular topic, and coordinate efforts between members of a technical community.
We encourage those interested in organizing a workshop to submit proposals focusing on all aspects of software
testing, verification, and validation. These will be IEEE workshops, and organizers have the option of publishing the
proceedings in the IEEE digital library.
