Bullet BACKGROUND

 

Software is playing an increasingly significant role in our day-to-day lives. Unfortunately, software systems often fail to deliver as promised. It is broadly known that unresolved errors remain in many software systems that we are using every day. The QSIC series of conferences aim at providing a forum to bring together researchers and practitioners working towards improving the quality of software to present new results and exchange ideas in this challenging area.

 

Our preceding conferences were held in Hong Kong; Dallas, Texas, USA; Braunschweig, Germany; Melbourne, Australia; Beijing, China; Portland, Oregon, USA; and Oxford, UK. They received overwhelming responses from academia and industry. Selected papers of the conferences were published in special issues of recognized international journals.

 

 Bullet CALL FOR PAPERS

 

QSIC 2009, to be held in Jeju Island, Korea, solicits research papers, experience reports, and workshop papers on various aspects of quality software.  See the topics of interests and paper submission guidelines.
