Statement of interest

Hello,

As instructed by the Call for Participation: Workshop on Quality Assurance
at W3C, I am sending this statement of interest.

My name is Chris Kirk and I am with Virtual Summit Inc. I am looking to
attend
the workshop on behalf of Virtual Summit. My position paper will be ready
by March 9th and a brief abstract follows:

Virtual Summit produces a testing and diagnostic tool for XML. Initially we
have
been focused on providing support for the Internet Protocol Detail Record
(www.ipdr.org) initiative. During our work, we have identified what we
believe
to be a parallel set of needs forming for the testing and verification of
XML-based
interfaces such as: IP usage-based billing and mediation, enterprise
information portals,
enterprise access portals, eCommerce and others. We feel the solution to
this
set of needs is a common XML Test Framework which can encompass not only
XML parsing and format but also be capable of handling all XML-based
interface
requirements from transport (http, SOAP, etc.) through verification of an
Application
State Space.Virtual Summit has a number of suggestions on how this XML Test
Framework might be structured.

If I can be of further assistance or clarification, please feel free to
telephone me
at 972-727-6419x101 or email at chris.kirk@virtualsummit.com.

Thanks
Chris Kirk
