- THE CONFERENCE
- Recent advances in Software Engineering suggest that sound technical
- solutions for achieving quality in software are available and all the
- software developer need do is use these to achieve the quality needed.
- However, the take-up of these quality techniques has been somewhat slow and
- where it has happened, the techniques themselves have been rather slow in
- producing their anticipated effects, if any effect at all is observed
- (apart from an increase in development costs). There must be reasons for
- this.
- AQuIS 93 intends to further the efforts of AQuIS 91 in emphasising the
- source of this problem: technology transfer.
- Further, ascertaining the quality of software under development is still
- less than easy, as is proposing truely pragmatic approaches to attaining
- quality.
- What better a challenge than to make a contribution to this area and
- compare solutions?
-
- TOPICS
- Submissions are invited in the following areas:
-
- - Technology transfer techniques aimed at reducing the resistance to
- quality practice.
- - Quantitative evaluation of quality attributes.
- - Models of development processes and environments, embodying the quality
- dimension.
- - Software process improvement.
- - The management, inspection, testing, maintenance and reuse of quality
- software processes and products.
- - Software development: formal methods, tools/environments.
- - Prediction techniques (quality, cost, resource requirements etc.)..
- - Risk management.
- - Total quality approaches.
- - Quality standards/legislation.
- The emphasis of the conference is on documenting, based on proper
- measurement, which techniques (for achieving, predicting, validating
- quality) work and which do not work. Significant, real case study reports
- showing that quality is being achieved and why, as well as studies which
- show that it is not and why, are particularly welcome.
-
- INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
- Four copies (in English) of original work, limited to 12 pages (5000
- words), must reach the Conference Secretariat before May 1, 1993.
- Papers must include a short abstract and a list of keywords, the author's
- address, phone number, e-mail address and telefax.
-
- All papers received will be refereed by the International Program
- Committee, and each paper will be rewieved by at least three independent
- referees. Final accepted papers will be published in the Conference
- Proceedings.
- Best papers will be selected for publication in a special issue of "The
- Journal of Systems and Software", Elsevier Science Publishing Co., New York
