hi Robinson,

Thanks for the information.

I was just curious if the conference was open to only ACM members. I
am currently working on automatic extraction of behavior models for
existing .net applications. I am not sure if I will have anything
meaningful by Sept 03.

Your website on model based testing is great, the reference material
is excellent.

regards

Seshagiri
