Call for Papers > for CFP SEAA-ESE 2011

ProTest-Project Web — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

The importance of software embedded in products and devices is increasing; as such software implements an increasing number of functions and innovations. Embedded software is the core of software-intensive embedded systems and is typically handling interactions with the real world under extra functional constraints, including requirements related to space, time, energy consumption, and dependability.
The SEEA track on embedded software engineering has a prime target on development and engineering of embedded software (ESE), but welcomes also submissions targeting other aspects of embedded software applications. We encourage submissions of more theoretical nature as well as experience reports from academia and especially from industry. In particular, we encourage submissions demonstrating the benefits or limitations of ESE approaches through case studies, experiments, and quantitative data. As parts of large software-intensive and distributed systems are increasingly designed using cloud services a key topic is to explore in this context design innovations, risks, and limitations.
Important Dates:
Paper abstract submission: February 22, 2011

Paper submission: March 1, 2011
Notification of accepted papers: April 15, 2011
Camera-ready paper due: June 1, 2011

Message Sequences Charts help formulating properties

ProTest-Project Web — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Quviq developed a new library to express relationships between events that happen in a system. This allows the testers to specify things like "this message should be delivered if the receiver was logged in around the time the message was sent". Message sequence charts are often used to give examples of possible ways in which messages may arrive. The newly developed library allows to specify a number of examples as one general property on message sequences.

The library was successfully used in a case study at ProcessOne and a paper describing this case has been submitted for publication.

PhD thesis with part on property based testing

ProTest-Project Web — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Laura Castro from the University of A Coruna finished her PhD thesis, which is to be defended on April 15, 2010. In her thesis she describes advantages of using functional programming for the development of software systems. Part of the thesis is devoted to testing these systems and property based testing plays an important rôle.
