ISSTA

ISSTA, the Internation Symposium in Software Testing and Analysis, brings together academics, industrial researchers, and practitioners to exchange new ideas, problems, and experience on how to analyze and test software systems. ISSTA 2013 will be held in Lugano, Switzerland at the Università della Svizzera italiana (University of Lugano) campus.

Technical Program

Authors are invited to submit technical papers describing original research in testing or analysis of computer software. Papers describing theoretical or empirical research, new techniques, or in-depth case studies of testing and analysis methods and tools are welcome. Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this symposium. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign an ACM copyright release.

Workshops

Organizers are invited to submit proposals for full-day and half-day workshops on topics related to software testing and analysis. Proposals should include a description of the theme and scope of the workshop, including its relevance to the field of software testing and analysis. The proposal should also provide information about the intended number of participants, the workshop format and the background of the organizers (including relevant past experience on organizing workshops). Proposals may be up to 2 pages in ACM conference format.

Technical Paper Submission Guidelines

Technical papers must be prepared in ACM conference format and must not exceed 10 pages (including figures and appendices but NOT including references). That is, any pages after the tenth must contain only references. All submissions must be in English. Submit your paper via the paper submission website (soon available). Submissions that do not adhere to these guidelines or that violate formatting will be declined without review.

Doctoral Symposium

PhD students are invited to submit an extended abstract describing their research goals, methods and preliminary results. Extended abstracts may be up to 4 pages in ACM conference format.
