GTAC: Call for Proposals
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Posted by
Lydia Ash - GTAC Conference Chair
Overview
The Test Automation Conference has been hosted by Google over the past several years bringing together a select set of industry practitioners as speakers and participants around the topic of software testing and automation. The annual conference provides a forum for presentations on important topics in our field connecting professions with others in their field through collaboration and targeted breakout sessions, but also has served the testing community by bringing the presentations public allowing anyone access to the information.
GTAC conference participants are typically software engineers who are actively working on problems of software quality, automated testing, and testing techniques. GTAC conferences cover a number of areas, but many presentations focus on themes such as advanced techniques in quality evaluation, advanced approaches to automating software testing, and experiences and findings from quality efforts on software projects.
The Conference
The conference is a two day event comprised of a single track of presentations. The philosophy is to engage a small set of active participants who all experience the same topics carrying the discussions into lightning talks, speaker Q&A, and topical discussion groups. The emphasis for the 2008 GTAC conference is solving the hard engineering problems in the quality of our software. Each year we have worked to identify a location that has a unique profile of technology professionals. This year the conference will be held in Seattle, WA, USA on October 23 and 24.
Presentations are targeted at experienced engineers actively working on software quality. We encourage innovative ideas, controversial experiences, problems, and solutions that further the discussion of engineering and software quality. Presentations are generally 45 min in length and speakers should be prepared for an active question and answer session following their presentation.
Process of Selection
All presentation submissions will be handled electronically. Presentation proposals should be a relatively detailed extended abstract including the topic, outline, and details of what will be presented. Presentation proposals should be emailed to
gtac@google.com
All presentation proposals must be received by June 6, 2008. Where employer or disclosure authorization is needed, the author(s) will need to obtain this prior to submitting their proposal.
The program committee will evaluate proposals based on the quality and relevance. All submissions will be held confidentially prior to contacting the selected presenters and the publication in the proceedings.
Notification
Accepted proposal authors will be contacted on or before July 10 to confirm their availability and travel needs. Authors of proposals not selected will be notified on or before July 10. Accepted proposals will be presented at the conference and made available to the public on YouTube.
