Call for Papers

The ICST Poster Track provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present, showcase, and discuss their latest advances, ideas, experiences, and challenges in the field of software testing, verification and validation.

Scope

Poster submissions are intended to promote discussion on recent advances, experiences, and challenges, as well as cutting-edge or potentially disruptive ideas, in the field of software testing, verification and validation. The scope of the Poster Track includes novel ideas or visions of the future, industrial experiences, and early results related to research and practice of software testing, verification and validation.

Evaluation

Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. The main evaluation criteria include the relevance and quality of the proposed posters in terms of originality, relevance for the ICST audience, technical soundness, and quality of the presentation.

Presentation

Accepted poster papers will be presented in poster session(s). In addition, there will be an opportunity to present a teaser of each poster.

How to Submit

Submissions have to contain an extended abstract of no more than four pages, including references. The extended abstract must summarize the problem addressed, the approach taken, and the main results achieved.

The submission of the extended abstract should adhere to the IEEE template for conference proceedings. Submissions must be clearly indicated as posters by preceding the title of the extended abstract with “Poster”, for example “Poster: Recent Advances in Software Testing, Verification and Validation”. Extended Abstracts and Posters must be submitted electronically to the EasyChair ICST 2023 submission website and selecting Posters Track.

If the extended abstract is accepted, a 24 inch x 36 inch (or A1 size) poster has to be submitted. Extended abstracts of accepted submissions will be published in the ICST 2023 Proceedings.

Award

The best poster will receive an award at the conference.
