RE: [tag-discuss] How about a workshop before launching the TC?

Hi,

I am on the road, sorry for lack of time to respond.
I agree that we can have a workshop later in the game. Organizing the
workshop will delay the start of a TC in this area.

The workshop could be setup after TC has been formed, because we have
much solid issues to discuss later. At this moment, we didn't have clear
charter and focus yet.

David:
While the workshop idea deserves more attention, I wouldn't make it a
gating factor for starting a TC: 

IMO the folks on this list cover a significant spectrum of experience
and are certainly aware of what is going on in testing and QA,
especially in relation with defining conformance to a standard. 
I feel that if there is anything out there that is relevant to TA
modeling and TA representation, our group should be able to find enough
about it to start working, without going through the hassle of
setting-up a workshop (needs efforts and time!)

Now, should a workshop or the like be seen as useful, the TAG TC - once
constituted - could actually be a good structure to organize this. Could
give it more focus in the light of early work. Also clearer IPR
requirements from participants in case of expected reuse by OASIS
especially if our companies participate.

A lighter alternative to the workshop, is to have the TC invite on a
regular basis, some speaker / author (teleconf) in areas related to our
objective.

But let us hear from others on this?

Regards,
Jacques

I like a lot of what I see in the proposed charter for a TC, but I still

wonder if existing technologies could be used to address the need. One
way 
to take more readings on the state of the art is to convene a workshop. 
The Call for Papers would ask specifically for work already underway (or

completed) about formal methods of specification for interoperable 
technologies, as well as experiments that have been conducted in 
generating either test cases or code from specs that follow a rigid 
format. Notice of the workshop should be distributed in the
documentation 
community (e.g., STC) as well as the software engineering community.

Of course, this is just a rough idea, open to copious amendments by
others 
on the list.
