2007 SQM and INSPIRE Conferences.

Conferences on Quality

The British Computer Society Quality Special Interest Group's Annual International SQM and INSPIRE Conferences will be held from
Wednesday 1st to Thursday 2nd of August 2007
at The University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland

The British Computer Society Quality Specialist Group's Annual International SQM (Software Quality Management) and INSPIRE (International conference for Software Process Improvement in Research and Education) Conferences will be held in two parts. The 1st part from Monday 2nd to Wednesday 4th of April 2007 at Staffordshire University, UK;
The 2nd part from Wednesday 1st to Thursday 2nd of August at the University of Tampere, Finland.

Both in UK and Finland the 15th SQM '07 conference aims to promote co-operation and greater understanding among practitioners and academics in European and international context by providing an opportunity to share research and practical experience. Whilst SQM addresses issues relevant to business and industry, the 12th INSPIRE conference addresses process improvement (PI) issues related to European and international teaching, training and research. For both conferences and countries we strongly encourage collaborative (academic and industrial) submissions related to industrial experience and case studies, as well as reports on recent research results and ongoing research and practice. The submissions should address the SQM and INSPIRE aims and be related either to the conferences' main theme or to the topics.

Aims and Objectives:

  • To raise awareness of process improvement issues in software development

  • To promote understanding of software quality and process improvement issues in the field of IS

  • To examine the effectiveness of process improvement with or without ICT support

  • To discuss the quality issues related to new e-world and web-based applications

  • To inform on the quality of relevant courses for academia and for industry

  • To improve the quality of software-based products and telecommunication systems

  • To relate software quality properties to the quality requirements of work and life in general

  • To increase and maintain the quality of software and software construction.
