From: Weber, Lynn Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2008 9:16 AM To: Gilchrist, Thomas L Subject: ISSRE in the May Newsletter Tom, Here's some wording for the May newsletter. The 19th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE) will be held at Microsoft’s Conference center in Redmond November 10 - 14,2008. ISSRE focuses on the practice and theory of software systems reliability engineering and analytics. While, as always, the conference will provide an in-depth representation of both software reliability engineering (SRE) theory and experimentation. This year’s strong focus will be bridging the gap between academic research and industrial use of SRE techniques. The web site is: http://www.csc2.ncsu.edu/conferences/issre/2008/ ISSRE is looking for people interested in presenting at the symposium. The objective of the Industry Practice program is to establish a meaningful dialog among software practitioners and with software engineering researchers on the results (both good and bad), obstacles, and lessons learned associated with applying software development practices in various environments. The Industry Practice presentations will provide accounts of the application of software engineering practices (which may be principles, techniques, tools, methods, processes, testing techniques etc.) to a specific domain or to the development of a significant software system. In particular, we are interested in software development techniques that prevent bugs or detect bugs early during development in addition to various downstream bug metrics and reliability growth curves etc. We would like the Industry presentations to be of interest to software development professionals as well as software quality groups. ISSRE seeks submissions of one page abstract by authors in the software reliability community on industry relevant topics in technology, tools and practices related to software testing, reliability, safety, security, availability, and dependability. Typically this will contain · a problem definition and its importance · any potential solution tried to address the problem · analysis of the results of applying the solution to the problem The abstracts will be reviewed by the Industry Program Committee and the selected authors will have a chance to present a talk (20 to 30 minutes) at the ISSRE 2008 conference. There is no need to write a paper and the authors only need to submit a presentation (PowerPoint or PDF format) for publication in the conference proceedings. The maximum number of slides in the presentation is 20 pages. Each accepted submission will be allotted a maximum of ten pages (two slides per page) in the ISSRE 2008 conference proceedings. For those authors who would like to submit a paper for the conference proceedings, they have the option to do so when their abstract is accepted. The final version of accepted papers must conform to the IEEE Format and Submission Guidelines. Important dates: Submission of Abstracts: July 1, 2008 Acceptance Notification: August 1, 2008 Final presentations due: September 1, 2008 Need info contact; Lynn.Weber@Boeing.com ISSRE Industry Program Committee Regards, Lynn Weber, 787 Systems RM&T Engineering Lead Desk: 425-342-5629 Cell: 425-275-7725 WARNING: The technology herein is controlled by the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
