Accepted Papers
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 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 presentation quality.
Presentation
Accepted poster papers will be presented in the poster session(s).
How to Submit
Submissions must 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 2024 submission website and selecting Posters Track.
If the extended abstract is accepted, an A1 size poster (841 x 594mm i.e. 33.1 x 23.4 inches ) has to be submitted. Extended abstracts of accepted submissions will be published in the ICST 2024 Proceedings.
Please note there are printing facilities in York, so you could print your poster on-site. Here are a few recommended places:
- Printing services located on campus at York University: https://www.yorku.ca/printing/posters/
- The Printing House, a private store, that has a store close to campus: https://www.tph.ca/052-2/ The Printing House also has stores downtown.
- Another alternative downtown is: Staples.https://www.staples.ca/products/2716219-en-staples-custom-posters
