CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

PARTICIPATE IN QUATIC 2012!

We invite researchers and practitioners to participate in this conference, and join us at the beautiful city of Lisbon in September!

The International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology (QUATIC) serves as a forum for disseminating advanced methods, techniques and tools for supporting quality approaches to ICT engineering and management. Practitioners and researchers are encouraged to exchange ideas and approaches on how to adopt a quality culture in ICT process and product improvement and to provide practical studies in varying contexts.

The QUATIC 2012 Conference Program is organized on a series of Thematic Tracks to  promote discussions concerning how quality crosscuts knowledge area such as Process Improvement and Assessment, Verification and Validation, Requirements Engineering, Web and Mobile Engineering, Model Driven Engineering, Agile Methods, Service Management, Cloud Computing and Evolution. To foster the dissemination of best practices in industry and to allow a lively discussion of hot topics and quality concerns we will have a dedicated Industrial Track.
The doctoral consortium of Portuguese software engineering students (SEDES) will provide an opportunity for doctoral students to present and discuss their thesis work with faculty and peers and network with other researchers in the field. Finally, Tutorials will provide an excellent opportunity for practitioners to meet and learn with world class experts.
