[tptp-news] EclipseCon 2008: Call for Participation.

[Paul Slauenwhite <paules@xxxxxxxxxx>]

TPTP Community,
      As the EclipseCon 2008 Program Committie Lead for the Test and
Performance category, I would like extend an invitation to the TPTP
community to participate in EclipseCon 2008 by proposing a talk or tutorial
for the Test and Performance category.  This category covers topics related
to test and performance tooling that leverage Eclipse. Test and Performance
tooling is used throughout the software development and test life cycle,
from early unit testing, profiling, and tuning to post-deployment
monitoring, tracing, and log analysis. This category is focused on the
implementation, extension, and use of test and performance tooling - both
open source and commercial - targeting a broad spectrum of systems
including embedded, stand-alone, distributed, and enterprise. There is
particular interest in exploitation and user experience of the Test and
Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) project.

Presentation types:

-Tutorial: A two hour presentation, with coding and/or a hands on workshop.
-Long Talk: A one hour presentation that goes into detail and/or
demonstration on a topic.
-Short Talk: A five to ten minute presentation that covers the highlights
of a topic.
-Posters: Posters are presented at the poster reception session.
-Birds of a Feather (BoF): BoF meetings are informal one-and-a-half-hour
gatherings of people who want to talk about a particular topic.

      If you are interested in proposing a talk or tutorial, please:
