Overview

This volume contains the proceedings of TestCom 2003, the IFIP TC6/WG 6.1 International Conference on Testing of Communicating Systems, held in Sophia Antipolis, France, during May 26-28, 2003. TestCom denotes a series of int- national working conferences on testing communicating systems in the data and telecommunication domain. The conference provides a forum for researchers, vendors and users to review, discuss and learn about new approaches, concepts andexperiencesinthe?eldoftestingofcommunicatingsystems.Thisconference in particular focuses on new ways of testing for new-generation networks.

The scope of the papers presented at TestCom 2003 covers interoperability testing, TTCN-3, automata-based testing, testing of next-generation networks, IPandUMTS, testsystemsandtools, testspeci?cationdesignandmethodology, and industrial experience in testing communication systems. TheTestCom2003programconsistedof6technicalsessions,3positionsta- ment sessions, and a special session on interoperability testing. Three invited speeches gave an overview on actual trends in the testing and telecommuni- tion area and formulated requirements to the testing process. The proceedings contain the 19 regular papers accepted and presented at the conference. They were selected from 53 submitted papers in a careful selection procedure based on the assessment of three referees for each paper. The p- ceedings also include the text of the invited talk by Elaine Weyuker, Philippe Cousin, and Ana Cavalli.
