SQM 2012 - SQM 2012 6th International Workshop on System Quality and Maintainability

SQM 2012 6th International Workshop on System Quality and Maintainability
Official website: http://sqm2012.sig.eu
TOPICS
As software is playing a crucial role in modern societies, correct and consistent behaviour, cost-effective production, maintenance, and operation of software systems is a fundamental. Thus, the demand for good quality software is increasing. The main question that arises now is how quality is measured. What, where and when we assess and assure quality, are still open issues. This workshop session aims at feeding into the debate about quality and maintainability between software producers, vendors and users by establishing what the state of the practice and the way forward is.
Organizers are looking for research and empirical contributions on:
Software quality attributes
Software measurement
Software maintainability
Software quality assessment: practice and automation
Software analysis using automated techniques
Software evolution
Software economics
Software quality standards
Software quality certification
Experience reports
The authors of papers accepted at SQM 2012 will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue at Springer's Software Quality Journal.
