> Call for Papers
>
> Widespread development and reuse of software components has been regarded
> by many as one of the next biggest phenomena for the software industry.
> Reusing high-quality software components in software construction has the
> potential of drastically improving the quality and development
productivity
> of component-based software systems. However, widespread reuse of a
> software component with poor quality may literally lead to disasters.
> Component-based software engineering involves many unique characteristics,
> some of which have caused new issues, challenges, and needs in testing and
> quality assurance of components and component-based software. Testing and
> quality assurance therefore plays a critical and pivotal role in the
> construction of software components and component-based software.
>
> Although there have been many published research papers addressing the
> issues in component construction, reuse and evaluation, as well as
> engineering of component-based software systems, only a few of published
> papers discuss issues in testing and quality assurance of reusable
software
> components and component-based software systems. This workshop is intended
> to provide an effective forum for researchers and industry practitioners
to
> discuss the issues, challenges, needs, and solutions in validation and
> quality assurance of reusable software components and component-based
> systems. The workshop brings together software engineering researchers,
> software component developers, and software industry testing and quality
> assurance practitioners to exchange innovative ideas and state-of-the-art
> research results in testing and quality assurance for reusable components,
> component-based systems, and share experience and lessons learned from
> academic research projects as well as real world component-based software
> projects. The topics for submissions include, but are not limited to, the
> following:
> * Adequate testing models, methods, and coverage criteria for reusable
> components
> * Innovative validation methods for reusable software components, such
> as COTS, safety and critical components
> * Design for testability of components and component-based systems,
> including built-in test or self-test techniques.
> * Component integration issues, solutions, and strategies for
> component-based systems
> * Regression testing issues, strategies, and techniques for
> component-based systems
> * Test automation issues, solutions, tools, frameworks for components
> and component-based systems
> * Testability analysis, verification and measurement for
> component-based software and its parts
> * Performance evaluation and reliability measurement for software
> components and component-based systems
> * Component quality certification processes, methods, and standards
> * Quality assurance issues, challenges, processes, methods,
measurement
> metrics, and quality control systems for reusable components and
> component-based systems
> * Verification methods, processes, and standards for component-based
> software development
> * Industrial and academic case studies or experience reports on
testing
> and quality assurance for reusable components and component-based systems.
> Important Dates
>
> February 15, 2005: Deadline paper submissions
> April 15, 2005: Notification acceptance
> May 16, 2005: Deadline for camera-ready copies of
