An open session aimed at allowing workshop partcipants to discuss and share new ideas in the area of parallel and distributed testing and debugging.

Topic #1: Concurrent Testing
Group notes: [PDF]
- Ensuring confidence in concurrent/distributed testing results - how many times should I run each test case? (i.e., confidence in interleaving space)
- How to reduce the cost of the testing and debugging of concurrent/distributed systems?
- Regression testing of concurrency programs
Topic #2: Concurrency Education
Group notes: [PDF]
- Curriculum for testing and debugging of concurrent/distributed software.
- General concurrency curriculum
