CALL FOR PARTICIPATION A-MOST 2011: 7th International Workshop on Advances in Model Based Testing Co-located with ICST 2011 (4th International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation) March 21, 2011, Berlin, Germany http://amost2011.lcis.grenoble-inp.fr The increasing use of software and the growing system complexity, in size, heterogeneity, autonomy, physical distribution, and dynamicity make focused software system testing a challenging task. Recent years have seen an increasing industrial and academic interest in the use of models for designing and testing software. Success has been reported using a range of types of models using a variety of specification formats, notations and formal languages, such as UML, SDL, B and Z. The goal of the A-MOST workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the current state of the art and practice as well as future prospects for Model-Based software Testing (MBT). Program: -------- The workshop accepted submissions of full-length papers and short position papers or experience reports. Full-length papers describe new research, tools, technologies, and industry experience. Short position papers report on the practical application of model-based testing. The workshop is organized in four sessions covering the following area of model-based testing: - Model-based testing for embedded and real-time systems - Model-based test selection and generation - Risk-based approaches for MBT - Statistical testing - Executable models and simulation In addition, the workshop program includes a session on scenario-based software testing featuring the Scenarios 2011 workshop. The final program is available at the workshop website. Please check http://amost2011.lcis.grenoble-inp.fr for more details. Keynote: -------- The keynote speaker of this year is Mr. Klaus Beetz. Klaus Beetz is the global technology field lead on systems development technology of Siemens Corporate Research and Technologies.
