*********************************************************


The 15th edition of the Dutch Testing Day (Nederlandse Testdag) is organised by the Eindhoven University of Technology.  The Dutch Testing Day is a national symposium on software and systems testing, with participants from industry and academia. The Testing Day has traditionally been a forum that fosters cross-fertilisation between industry and academia, through a balanced programme that highlights aspects in testing, both practical and theoretical. In addition, the Testing Day plays an important role as a networking event for professionals, researchers, and companies involved in testing. This year's edition of the Testing Day will be part of the FMWeek, a collection of international academic and industrial conferences taking place in Eindhoven, see http://www.win.tue.nl/fmweek/


We solicit proposals for presentations for the Testing Day on all subjects related to testing, including, but not limited to:

* problem statements: definitions of new challenges, and discussions of
  possible approaches;
* research presentations: results from current research in the area
  of testing;
* presentations of practical experiences: case studies, reports of
  successes, open problems, methods, test organisation.

Proposals for presentations are to be sent by e-mail to testdag2009@testdag.nl.
The submission should be in English, no more than 500 words, describing practical and theoretical challenges and solutions, accompanied by a profile of the author. The allotted time for presentations is 30 minutes.
