As the field of wireless sensor networks matures, new design concepts, experimental and theoretical findings, and applications have continued to emerge at a rapid pace. As one of the leading international conferences in this area, the European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN) has played a substantial role in the dissemination of innovative research ideas from researchers all over the globe. For EWSN 2010, the seventh meeting in this series, we invite posters describing original, previously unpublished research results pertaining to wireless sensor networks, broadly conceived. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Hardware Design and Implementation
Operating Systems and Software
Middleware and Macroprogramming
Communication and Network Protocols
Information and Signal Processing
Fundamental Theroetical Limits and Algorithms
Prototypes, Field Experiments, Testbeds
Novel Applications, including Urban Sensing
Security and Fault-Tolerance

Posters and Demonstrations Submission Information:

Poster and demo proposals must be submitted as a PDF file with no more than 2 pages containing an abstract describing the research content presented in the poster or demonstration, along with title, authors, institutional affiliations, and contact information. The title of poster proposals should be prefixed by "Poster Abstract:", while the title of demonstration proposals should be prefixed by "Demo Abstract:". All submissions will be handled electronically via EDAS (http://edas.info). We require that submissions conform to the Springer-Verlag LNCS style. We will adopt a simplified review process for poster and demo proposals. The abstracts of accepted proposals will be published in the EWSN 2010 adjunct proceedings.

Important Dates (subject to change, please check website for latest dates):
Posters and demos submission: Dec. 20, 2009
Poster and demos notification: Jan. 5, 2010

** Call for papers **

Model-based testing (MBT) encompasses all testing techniques where a system under test (SUT) is compared to a reference specification in form of a model. This includes methods for the generation of test cases from the model, for making a test verdict from a test execution, and for the execution of a system with respect to some given test model or test suite.

The workshop on Quality of Model-Based Testing (QuoMBaT) addresses a crucial need for discussing MBT: How can or should the quality of a newly proposed approach be measured? How can existing approaches be compared? What is the fault-detection capability of an automatically generated test suite compared to that of a manually produced one? Which coverage criteria are adequate? At which level should coverage be measured? Which mutation operators should be used in mutation analysis? Subsumption is used to compare coverage criteria and weak mutation - are there similar approaches for strong mutation? How can model-based testing be evaluated in comparison to other testing approaches? What statements about SUT quality can be derived from test quality?

The objective of this first QuoMBaT workshop is to offer a forum for researchers and practitioners who are working in the area of quality assurance (QA) in MBT:

- Quality measurement for model-based test generation: How should test cases be generated in order to ensure high quality?
- Quality measurement for models and meta models: What makes a good test model?
- Comparisons of approaches to quality measurement: What kind of measurement is most promising?

We emphasize that QuoMBaT is focussed on QA of MBT. So, we are interested in submissions and discussions about the evaluation and
comparison of existing techniques or measureable improvements. Correspondingly, we are not interested in new modeling techniques, but
in how to measure the quality of modeling techniques. The same holds for test generation, test execution, test oracles, test evaluation, and MBT itself.


** Submissions and Publication **
Submitted papers must not exceed 10 pages in the two-column IEEE format ( http://vps.it-sudparis.eu/icst2010/icst2010v4_fichiers/instruct8.5x11x2.pdf ). There will be an award for the best paper. The corresponding authors will receive it at the workshop. Furthermore, all accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital library.


** Workshop Format **
Beside the traditional presentation sessions, QuoMBaT will include a workshop where the members of the audience will be able to bring their opinions on the topics presented in the papers and on further discussion topics. We anticipate an enjoyable and exciting event where many important thoughts (or doubts) about the required/anticipated/demanded quality of MBT can be exchanged.


** Important Dates **

Notification to authors: March 1, 2010
