FITTEST 2013 - 1st International Workshop on Future Internet Testing

The FITTEST workshop will take place on either Nov 12, Nov 13, or Nov 16, in conjunction with The 25th IFIP International Conference on Testing Software and Systems (ICTSS 2013). The workshop will provide:
A dedicated workshop for the software testing community working in the domain of Future Internet (FI) applications. Topics include (but are not limited to): new techniques and tools for testing Future Internet applications that deal with the dynamic, adaptive and self-* properties of FI applications, evaluation of testing techniques and tools on real systems through case studies.
A platform for interaction between software testing researchers and researchers from other areas of the software engineering community, with the aim of strengthening and developing testing research for Future Internet applications Future Internet applications.
A tools competition for testing Internet applications based on a workshop benchmark that we will publish in conjunction with the call for papers. The objective is to facilitate a comparison of testing tools, and stimulate discussion at the workshop of the advantages and disadvantages of particular approaches to the problem. Entries will demonstrate their tool at the workshop and present their results of the competition.
Call For Papers
The Future Internet (FI) will be a complex interconnection of services, applications, content and media, possibly augmented with semantic information. It will offer a rich user experience, extending and improving the current hyperlink-based navigation. Key technologies contributing to the development of FI services and applications include rich, complex, dynamic and stateful client-server systems. In such systems, the clients interact asynchronously with the servers, where applications are organised as services, usually around an enterprise service bus, taking advantage of dynamic service discovery, replacement and composition. Adaptivity and autonomy improve the user experience, by dynamically changing both the client and the server side, through capabilities such as self-configuration and self-healing. As a consequence, FI applications will exhibit emergent behaviours, which are hard to predict at design time.
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit:
Long papers (16 page limit). This format will be used for papers on original research results in the domain of testing Future Internet applications.
Short papers (10 page limit). This format will be used for papers
(a) on novel techniques, ideas and positions that have yet to be fully developed and
(b) tool competition entry papers that describe the evaluation results of testing a benchmark provided by us.
