About ICST 2011:
--------------------------------
The International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation 
(ICST) is the premier conference in all areas related to software quality. 
Software systems present unique engineering challenges to the tester, not least 
because they can exhibit non-determinism and emergent behaviour. No other 
engineering artefact is more closely intertwined with the human activity, 
resulting in complex hybrid systems that involve software, human judgement and, 
sometimes, political, legal and social processes.

As a result, software verification & validation including testing, inspections, 
model analysis, safety certification, etc. draws upon a wide spectrum of 
disciplines, including engineering, mathematics and also psychology. It touches 
on all aspects of Computer Science and Software Engineering research and 
impacts on almost every software practitioner. ICST seeks to meet these 
problems by bringing together researchers and practitioners for a conference 
that includes all aspects of software testing, as it is most widely construed.

ICST welcomes research papers as well as industrial experience reports from 
software development and testing practitioners. For the research papers, ICST 
seeks high quality original work. For the industrial papers ICST seeks papers 
that present real world experience from which others can benefit.

Authors of best papers from the conference will be invited to submit extended 
versions of their papers for a special issue of Software Testing, Verification, 
and Reliability, a Wiley journal.
