Accepted Papers
Call for Journal-First Presentations
ICST 2022 invites submissions for presentations of journal-first papers published recently in prestigious software engineering journals in all areas of software testing, verification, and validation. This will both enrich the ICST program as well as offer the authors an opportunity to present their work to the community.
Eligibility
Applications for journal papers published in:
- Software Testing, Verification, and Reliability (STVR)
- Journal of Systems and Software (JSS)
- Information and Software Technology (IST)
- Software Quality Journal (SQJ)
Other journals may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
A journal-first presentation submitted to ICST 2022 must adhere to the following criteria:
- The paper was accepted for publication (i.e., the date of the acceptance notification) no earlier than 1 January 2020.
- The paper is in the scope of the conference, as defined in the call for ICST 2022 research papers.
- The paper reports completely new research results or presents novel contributions that were not previously reported in prior published work.
- The paper has not been presented and is not under consideration for journal-first programs of other conferences.
Submission of Proposals
If you have a journal publication that meets the aforementioned criteria, you can fill in the application form to submit the proposal.
Evaluation and Selection
Authors will be invited to present their paper at ICST 2022 after a check that the paper is in scope for the conference and it adheres to the criteria above. The papers will not be reviewed again for technical content.
In case an exceptionally high number of proposals is received, presentation proposals will be prioritized according to their fit to the conference theme and structure of sessions.
Publication
The JF manuscripts have already been, or will be, published through the journals and therefore will NOT be part of the ICST proceedings. The journal-first papers will be listed in the conference program and the proceeding will only contain the abstract and a pointer to the journal publication.
Presentation
If a submission is accepted for the journal-first program, at least one author of the associated journal paper must register and (remotely) attend the conference to present the paper.
Important Dates
Submission deadline: 10 December 2021 (Anywhere on Earth, UTC-12)
Notification: 7 January 2022
