Software analysis and verification methodologies and processes, supported by automated software analysis and test tools, promise major advances in system quality and reliability. The mission of the QW'99 Conference is to increase awareness of the entire spectrum of methods used to achieve software quality. QW'99 provides technical education, with opportunities for practical experience exchange, for the software development and testing community. The QW'99 theme "Facing the Future" draws attention to the impact of the Y2K and EURO conversion/verification problems on the entire software quality area. The aim is to focus attention on finding out what are the the right things to do for software quality in the coming decade. The QW'99 program consists of two days of pre-conference tutorials, followed by a three-day conference including Mini-Tutorials, Quick-Start talks, Panel Sessions, and regular Technical Presentations. QW'99 provides the Software Testing and QA/QC community with: o Carefully chosen 1/2-day and full-day tutorials from well-known technical experts. o Three-Day Four-Track (Technology, Applications, Process, Tools & Solutions) Technical Conference o Special Quick-Start and Mini-Tutorial Sessions o Two-Day Vendor Show/Exhibition o Vendor Technical Presentations and Demonstrations o Analysis of method and process effectiveness through case studies. o Meeting of Special Interest groups. o Exchange of critical information among technologists. o State-of-the-art information on software test methods. QW'99 is soliciting 45 and 90 minute presentations, half-day and full- day standard seminar/tutorial proposals, 90-minute mini-tutorial proposals, or proposals participation in a panel and "hot topic" discussions on any area of testing and automation, including: Application of Formal Methods Automated and Manual Inspection Methods CMM/PMM Process Assessment Data Flow Testing Technology Defect Tracking / Monitoring GUI Test Technology and Test Management Integrated Test Environments ISO-9000 Application and Methods New and Novel Test Methods Process Assessment/Improvement Productivity and Quality Issues Object Oriented Testing Real-Time Software Real-World Experience Reliability Studies Software Metrics in Test Planning System Load Generation and Analysis Test Automation Technology and Experience Test Data Generation Techniques Test Documentation Standards Test Management Automation Test Policies and Standards Web Testing/WebSite Quality Year 2000 Issues IMPORTANT DATES: Abstracts and Proposals Due: 18 December 1998 Notification of Participation: 20 February 1999 Camera Ready Materials Due: 31 March 1999 FINAL PAPER LENGTH: Papers should be limited to 10-20 pages, including Text, Slides and/or View Graphs. SUBMISSION INFORMATION: Abstracts should be 2-4 pages long, with enough detail to give members of QW'99's International Advisory Board an understanding of the final paper/presentation, including a rough outline of its contents. FAX your proposal to us, or send it (by Email to qw@soft.com) as an ASCII file or a Microsoft Word 6.0 format document (as a MIME attachment), or in PostScript file, or in a PDF format file. Please indicate if the most likely audience is technical, managerial/process, applications, or tools and solutions oriented. In addition, please include: o A cover page with the paper title, complete mailing and Email address(es), and telephone and FAX number(s) of each author. o A list of keywords describing the paper contents. o A brief biographical sketch of each author.
