Call for Submissions to the Industry Practice Program
-----------------------------------------------------

The objective of the Industry Practice program is to broaden
the scope of this conference by adding a strong industry
component. There are three components to the Industry Practice
program: 

1. Individual Presentations: 

We seek submissions of one page abstract by authors in the
software industry on topics in technology, tools and practice
related to software testing, reliability, safety, security,
availability, and dependability. Typically this will contain 

- a problem definition and its importance to the organization 
- any potential solution tried to address the problem 
- analysis of the results of applying the solution to the problem

The abstracts will be reviewed by the Industry Practices Committee
and the selected authors will have a chance to present a talk
(20 to 30 minutes). There is no need to write a paper and the
authors only need to submit a presentation (PDF format) for
publication in the conference proceedings. 

2. Company Presentation:

We seek submissions of proposals for presentations by companies
in the software industry on their approaches to enhancing software
reliability in their products and services. In contrast to a
submitted presentation by an author, the contents of the proposal
for a company presentation should have enough different technical
dimensions (such as tools experiences, company practices,
reliability goals,etc.) to warrant a dedicated time in the agenda
for the company. It should not be viewed as a forum for advertisement.
The selected proposals will have 60 to 90 minutes on the ISSRE 2001
agenda. The participants only need to submit the presentation
(PDF format) for publication in the conference proceedings.

3. Industry Relevant Panels: 

We seek submissions of proposals for panels that will be interesting
to the industry and academic participants alike on topics relevant
to today's fast moving software industry. Some examples of the topics
are: Reliability implications of Extreme Programming, Internet
security, Testing and Reliability of Network based Software Services,
etc. The proposal must contain: 

- Name and address of the author of the proposal 
- Title of the panel and an explanation of the relevant area 
- Names of participants (with one moderator) and their qualifications 
- Key five questions that will be addressed by the panel 

The proposals will be reviewed by the Industry Practices Committee
and the selected panels will have 60 to 90 minutes at the ISSRE 2001
