We present our congratulations to Arnaud Gotlieb, Dusica Marijan and Alexandre Pétillon from the Certus Centre and Simula, and Mats Carlsson from SICS in Sweden. This team of researchers has received the prestigious Best Paper Award at the 11th International Conference on Software Engineering and Applications, or ICSOFT-EA 2016, for their paper, titled “A New Approach to Feature-based Test Suite Reduction in Software Product Line Testing“.

The conference was held in Lisbon, Portugal, from July 24th to July 26th, and it received 84 paper submissions from 26 countries, of which only 15% were accepted as full papers, with a double-blind paper evaluation method. Our warmest congratulations to the researchers!
