Testing Academia and Industry Conference 2007

本提案是为在英国举办名为“测试学术与工业会议-实践与研究技术”的软件测试国际研讨会（2007年）申请部分资金支持。研讨会将结合工业界和学术界的参与，以加强和发展英国在软件测试领域的领导地位。这次活动建立在以前在英国举行的小型测试研讨会的基础上。虽然它仍然是一个研讨会的性质，但活动的标题包括“会议”一词，以允许未来的发展。这些活动已经稳定地建立了一个强大的研究人员和实业家社区，现在时机已经成熟，使这一活动成熟为一个更有雄心的大型活动。EPSRC将为该活动提供资金支持。这笔资金将用于支持会议的费用。作为他们对这次冒险的认真承诺的标志，一些工业合作伙伴已经提出以适度（但有用）的赞助水平支持这次活动。

This proposal is a request for funding as partial support for holding the an International Workshop on Software Testing in the UK called Testing Academia & Industrial Conference - Practice And Research Techniques (TAIC PART 2007).The workshop will combine industrial and academic participation to strengthen and develop UK leadership in the area of software testing. This event builds upon previous smaller workshops on testing held in the UK. Although it remains a workshop in character, the event's title includes the word `conference' to allowfor future growth. These events have steadily built a strong community of researchers and industrialists and the time is now ripe for this event to mature into a large more ambitious event. Funding is sought from EPSRC to support the event. This funding will be used tosupport the costs of the meeting. As a sign of their serious commitment to this venture, several of the industrial partners have already offered to support the event with a modest (but useful) level of sponsorship.
