QUATIC’2010 CALL FOR PAPERS

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.

As in the previous edition, papers accepted at this conference will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press (Los Alamitos, California, USA). QUATIC proceedings will be indexed by the IEEE Digital Library, ISI Web of Science, SCOPUS, ACM Portal, DBLP and DOI System. During the closing session of QUATIC’2010, awards will be given to the best papers presented during the meeting. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to be published in a special edition of the ASQ Software Quality Professional Journal.

To foster the dissemination of best practices in industry, to allow a lively discussion of hot topics, to have hands-on contact with new tools, to gather around informal discussion groups (aka birds-of-a-feather) on subjects suggested by the conference participants themselves and also to allow conference sponsors to spread their message, we will have a dedicated Industrial Track, that will run in parallel with the Main Track.
