=====================================================================


ISSTA is the leading research symposium in software testing and
analysis, bringing together academics, industrial researchers, and
practitioners to exchange new ideas, problems, and experience on how
to analyze and test software systems. ISSTA 2012 will be held in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the McNamara Alumni Center on the
University of Minnesota campus.

ISSTA week consists of two and a half days of co-located workshops and
two and a half days of technical papers. Workshops will explore a
range of emerging topics in software testing and analysis. Full or
half-day workshops in the days preceding the main technical program of
ISSTA provide focused research communities with an opportunity for
technical interchange within the overall context of ISSTA. Each day of
the ISSTA symposium will begin with an invited keynote address given
by a highly-regarded expert, bringing fresh perspectives on the
challenges of testing and analysis of software systems.


TECHNICAL PROGRAM
=================

Authors are invited to submit technical papers describing original
research in testing or analysis of computer software. Papers
describing theoretical or empirical research, new techniques, or
in-depth case studies of testing and analysis methods and tools are
welcome. Submissions must be original and should not have been
published previously or be under consideration for publication while
being evaluated for this symposium. Authors of accepted papers will be
required to sign an ACM copyright release.


WORKSHOPS
=========

Organizers are invited to submit proposals for full-day and half-day
workshops on topics related to software testing and
analysis. Proposals should include a description of the workshop's
scope and intended number of participants, and on how participants
will be selected. Proposals should also provide some information on
how the workshop will be structured, and on the background of the
organizers. Proposals may be up to 2 pages in ACM conference format.


TECHNICAL PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Technical papers must be prepared in ACM conference format and must
not exceed 11 pages, including figures, references and appendices. All
submissions must be in English. Submit your paper via the paper
