Scope and Objectives

Since 1997, CONQUEST is the platform for software professionals bringing together the software engineering community to discuss software quality aspects, to see how quality engineering methods and techniques are used in both industrial and research environments, to see the latest tools, to share experiences on projects and representative case studies, and to hear about future directions.

CONQUEST 2008 will feature tutorials and presentations of invited speakers and from members of the quality and software engineering community. It provides a full picture of software quality in theory and practice:

*         first-hand information on the practical use and further development of quality engineering methods and techniques;

*         user experience in introducing, implementing and operating software quality engineering;

*         specific real-life case studies with detailed quality analysis and evaluation; and

*         capabilities and availability of quality engineering tools.

CONQUEST 2008 welcomes original work in the broad field of constructive and analytical methods for software and system quality, on engineering processes for software-based systems, lifecycle management etc. Discussions of quality aspects in realm of service-orientation, of security and safety requirements for software-based systems are appreciated.

CONQUEST 2008 is organized by iSQI. It is supported by the SIG on Testing, Analysis, and Verification of Software of the German Society for Informatics (GI TAV).

Submission Details

Contributions may cover any quality related aspect of software engineering, but should be classified by choosing the topics below, which characterize the contribution best:

*         Service-Oriented Architecture

*         Business Processes Engineering

*         Secure and Safe Software-Based Systems

*         Secure Software Development

*         Model Driven Engineering

*         Requirements Engineering

*         Verification and Validation

*         Testing

*         Metrics and Measurements of System Quality and of Development Processes, Analytical Models of Software Engineering

*         Project Management

*         Configuration Management

Contributions related to industrial experiences are particularly welcomed. Proposals should be submitted electronically to the Program Committee by March 31, 2008.

We differentiate between

*         Original research papers of 12-16 pages which must report previously unpublished work and not be submitted concurrently to another conference with refereed proceedings 

*         Industrial (experience) reports of 6-8 pages which may report the application of known methods in industry or the extension of methods and tools in new application fields

Papers of smaller size than the targeted minimum will be rejected without any consideration.

The conference proceedings will be published in printed form by dpunkt.verlag. The best paper and the best presentation will be selected by the program committee and the conference participants, respectively.

Accepted papers must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. The presenting author gets free access to the conference for the day of presentation.

A paper submission must include a title, the name(s) of the author(s) and a contact address of the author(s). Please add the e-mail address as well as a short biography (at most 100 words) of the author(s) if you want them published in the conference proceedings.

Paper submissions (in pdf format) should be submitted through the submission form at http://manage.conquest-conference.org/author/submit.php <http://manage.conquest-conference.org/author/submit.php> . Please choose a subject classification from the list above.
