            http://sq.covenantuniversity.edu.ng


(The accepted papers of SQ 2013 will be published in Lecturer Notes in
Computer Science and extended version of all papers will be invited to
publish in several International Journals )

Following the grand success of SQ 2012 (in Salvador, Brazil), SQ  2011 in
conjuction with ICCSA 2011( In Santander Spain) , SQ  2009 in ISCIS 2009 (
in Middle East Technical University North Cyprus Campus, Cyprus,) the
Forth International  Workshop on “Software Quality SQ” (SQ 2013) will be
held  in conjunction with The 2013 International Conference on
Computational Science and Applications (ICCSA 2013) during June 24-27,
2013, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam


Submission deadline:  Jan 15, 2013

About The Workshop and Topics

This workshop extends discussion of software quality issues in the modern
software development processes.  It covers all
the aspects of process and product quality, quality assurance and
standards, quality planning, quality control and software
 quality challenges. It also covers the frontier issues and trends for
achieving the quality objectives. It includes
quality management process, role of software metrics, predictor metrics
and control metrics, role of measurement in
accessing the quality and limitations.


Topics include (related to quality issues) but not limited to:

1. Software development fundamentals,
2. Extreme Programming (XP), Agile, Scrum,
3. Software requirements techniques,
4. Software testing & QA fundamentals,
5. Software testing models and approaches,
6. Software testing tools and frameworks,
7. Software test design,
8. Types of software maintenance,
9. Software maintenance process models,
10. Software maintenance standards,
11.  Software maintenance tools
12. Software Reviews (SR)
13. Software Metrics (SM)
14. Software Process Assessment (SPA)
15. Software Process Improvement (SPI)
16. Software Standardization and Certification

SQ: 2013 invites you to submit your work that describes original and
significant contribution in all above
mentioned area of software engineering processes. The paper submitted to
SQ’2013 must not be submitted
elsewhere either in conference or journal. Papers selected after peer
review will be included in the conference
 proceedings and presented orally at the conference.

Publication

All contributions will be peer reviewed and will be judged on their
quality and relevance. The accepted papers for SQ 2013
will be published in Proceedings of ICCSA by Springer in Lecture Notes in
Computer Science.  Please note that one of the
author’s of the accepted paper must register for the conference and should
present the paper in conference. The selected,
 extended and modified version of accepted paper will also be invited for
the publication in a reputed International
Journal.   `

Special Issues and papers of SQ 2013:

In several countries, the conference papers are not considered in
evaluation of academic performances. In this point of,
we have decided to publish the extended version of all papers in SQ 2013
in special issues of several international
journals. We are also tring to get an special issue of an  ISI SCI/SCIE
indexed journal for the best papers of the
workshops.We will announce the name of journal very soon.


1. International Journal of Physical Sciences
  http://www.academicjournals.org/ijps/Editors.htm

2. International Journal of Software Science and Computational
Intelligence (IJSSCI)

http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-software-science-computational/1124

3. International Journal of Open Source Software and Processes
(IJOSSP)(IGI Global)
http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-open-source-software/1123

4. International journal of Human Capital Information
http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-human-capital-information/1152

5. Nigerian journal of technological research
http://www.njtr.org/

6. REICIS (www.ati.es/reicis : the unique journal in Spanish on Software
Quality and Engineering in Spanish, indexed
in Latindex, Redalyc, ICYT, DOAJ, e-revistas, Ulrich, etc.)

We plan to publish all the papers of the above workshops in the mentioned
journals. The only condition is that the
paper should fall under the theme scope and coverage area of the journal.
We hope that in the available list of six
journals, we will certainly find the place for each paper, since these
journals covers most of the area of software
engineering, applications and related areas.
