SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The TTCN-3 User Conference (T3UC) is an annual event which brings together the
TTCN-3 community, to see how the language is used in both industrial and
research environments, to hear about future directions, to see the latest tools
and to share experiences.

T3UC 2006 is co-organized by Fraunhofer FOKUS, Berlin and the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and will feature tutorials and
presentations from members of the TTCN-3 user community and other invited
speakers.

TTCN-3 is a mature technology whose popularity is increasing rapidly. It is used
in both small and large development projects and is seen by many as the key
component of efficient and cost effective validation and testing. TTCN-3's use
has extended beyond its established application of telecommunications testing
into new areas such as embedded system testing and software testing in general.

T3UC 2006 provides a full picture of TTCN-3:

• first-hand information on the practical use of the language;
• user experience in introducing, implementing and operating TTCN-3;
• specific real-life case studies;
• capabilities and availability of TTCN-3 tools; and
• the direction of future standardization and development to reinforce
its place as the building block of integrated design and testing environments.


SUBMISSION DETAILS
Proposals are invited for 20 minutes presentations on the following topics:

- practical experience and results of using TTCN-3; achievements and position
statements on different application domains such as aerospace, automotive,
banking, IP-based systems, medical devices, mobile and broadband
telecommunication, railways, space and telematics, telemetry, web services;

- practical results of integrating TTCN-3 into existing test platforms and test
devices; experience reports on the application of TTCN-3 based test solutions
and test frameworks;

- achievements in integrated software design and testing methods (integration
with MDA, UML etc.), reports on adoption of or migration to TTCN-3;
- evaluations of development and testing processes that integrate TTCN-3, also
in comparison to other testing technologies;

- experiences in training and educating TTCN-3

- the future of TTCN-3; e.g., proposals for language extensions and position
statements on the role of TTCN-3 in new trends in testing, new application areas
and planed or ongoing research


A proposal for a presentation should not be longer than two A4 pages. It must
include a title, the name of the presenter, a contact address, a summary of the
presentation and a statement regarding the intended audience.
