6th International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology – QUATIC 2007

The International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology (QUATIC) serves as a forum for disseminating advanced methods 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 conference considers the existence of several areas of interest that gather a set of related topics, organized around several perspectives of ICT Quality:

· Management Perspective: quality alignment with business strategies and goals; economics of quality; quality and business intelligence; quality deployment strategies; critical success factors in quality improvement; quality and legal issues; expressing contractual quality clauses; outsourcing versus in-sourcing regarding testing and/or maintenance; IT governance; IT service management.

· Process Perspective: process modelling, applicability, deployment, assessment, and improvement; lightweight versus heavyweight methodologies; quality in component-based development; quality in design; model-driven development; aspect-orientation methodologies; experimental software engineering; ICT project management.

· Product Perspective: requirements identification and system specification; quality of IT architecture; product inspections, reviews and walkthroughs; testing techniques, strategies, tools, standards and management; problem and defect management; configuration management; system extensibility: accommodating evolving requirements; integrating new and legacy systems; improving the quality of legacy systems; product reengineering for quality improvement.

· User and Contents Perspective: quality perception by customers; maturity of IT usage; data quality; information quality: risk analysis, assessment and audit.

· Web Perspective: modelling and design of web-based applications; web metrics and measurement; web benchmarking; performance of web-based applications; usability, user friendliness and robustness of web-based applications; web applications security; web convergence and non traditional devices.

· Standardization and Certification Perspective: developing or customizing quality models; cost and schedule estimation; product and process metrics; forecasting quality characteristics; process, product and services standardization and certification; total quality management.

· Education and Training Perspective: teaching quality; the Bologna Process and ICT education; human, cultural, professional and ethical issues of quality.
