Hi,

I am pleased to announce the publication of our book "An Introduction to TTCN-
3", by Colin Willcock, Thomas Deiss, Stefan Keil, Federico Engler, Stephan
Schulz, and Stephan Tobies.

Of course, being an co-author of this book, I cannot really praise it to the
extent that it deserves ;-). So I will leave the marketing mumbo-jumbo to the
publisher:
eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470012242.html - there you
will also find the table of contents and can order the book.

As far as I know, Wiley will have a stand at the TTCN-3 user conference.

Best regards

Stephan Tobies

Stephan,

When will it be published? (no marketing answer, please)

Thanks,
Scott

US publication seems to be planned for June, at least that's what = the
information at amazon.com says.

Will the authors be signing the books at the stand? :) With the price tag of
$99.95 at amazon.com the book better be really good. If you send me an
evaluation copy of the book, I will write some very positive feedback on it at
Amazon to increase its sales to top ten ;)

Just a quick comment: you probably do not want to buy the book at = amazon.com
because there it will be only available in June. So, if you = want to get your
finger on this book while it is still warm from the = press, rather order it at
Wiley directly.

Also, as a service for the for the paper-writing folks out there, here = is a
BibTeX record for the book:

@BOOK(IntroToTTCN3-05,
AUTHOR = {Colin Willcock and Thomas Dei{\ss{}} and Stephan Tobies = and
Stefan Keil and Federico Engler and Stephan Schulz},
TITLE = {An Introduction to {TTCN-3}},
PUBLISHER = {John Wiley and Sons, Ltd, England},
YEAR = {2005},
ISBN = {0-470-01224-2})

Enjoy!

Stephan

Can you give us some brief introductions about those authors ? :-)
Like the working experience about TTCN-3, background, or who is
the TTCN-3 standard author, and so on. To my surprise, Microsoft
guys also paid their attention on the TTCN-3. What kind of field did
you use the TTCN-3 for ?

I'm a software engineer who worked in ITRI, Taiwan. We used the TTCN-2
to do some telecommunication protocol comformance testings. And we
start focusing on the TTCN-3 in the IEEE 802.16 certification now.

Bravo ! I cannot wait to read the preview on the Amazon. I will order
at least one for our project. And thanks for your effort and contribution.

PS : Sorry for my poor English.


Best wishes,

All of the authors are or have been working for Nokia Research - thus = our
application area has mostly been telecoms. All of the authors have = been
involved in the standardisation of the language or the development = of the
Telelogic Tau/Tester tool, and we have used TTCN-3 in quite a = number of
industrial-scale test system development efforts.

During the time of writing the book, I have been working for Nokia = research,
and I have only recently changed to Microsoft. Currently, my = work here does
not involve TTCN-3, although that may change in the = future.

I am glad to hear that. From our experience, switching from TTCN-2 to = TTCN-3,
although it has ist pitfalls, brings great benefits.

Thank you very much. In the meantime, Wiley has also put up some preview =
material on the web page mentioned above. In particular, the = introduction
chaper is available there.

Best regards
