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.

We invite researchers and practitioners to submit a paper to this conference, and join us at the beautiful and historical city of Guimarães in next September.

The conference program is organized on a series of Thematic Tracks, each corresponding to a specific topic of interest:

ICT Verification and Validation
ICT Process Improvement and Assessment
Quality in ICT Requirements Engineering
Quality in Agile Methods
Empirical Studies in Software Quality
Quality in Web Engineering
Quality in IT Service Management
Quality in Technology Enhanced Learning
Quality in Model Driven Engineering

To foster the dissemination of best practices in industry, to allow a lively discussion of hot topics and quality concerns in specific application domains, to have hands-on contact with new tools, to gather around informal discussion groups on subjects suggested by the conference participants and also to allow conference sponsors to share their knowledge, we will have the dedicated Quatic Business Day as well as the Doctoral Consortium of Portuguese Software Engineering Students (SEDES).
