The International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology (QUATIC) is a leading biennial scientific conference that gathers practitioners and researchers from industry and academia to exchange ideas and approaches regarding all quality aspects in ICT systems engineering and management.

QUATIC 2018 includes eleven thematic tracks, mixing well-established traditional QUATIC topics and newly proposed tracks covering break-through research challenges, among which authors can certainly find the discussion venue that best suites their field:

• Quality Aspects in Requirements Engineering
• Quality Aspects in Model-Driven Engineering
• Quality Aspects in DevOps Development
• Quality Aspects in Process Improvement and Assessment
• Quality Aspects in Verification and Validation
• Quality Aspects in Evidence-Based Software Engineering
• Quality Aspects in Big Data Systems
• Quality Aspects in Safety and Security
• Quality Aspects in Cloud-based Platforms and Services
• Quality Aspects in Industry 4.0
• Quality Aspects in Business Processes

Detailed information on the QUATIC can be found at http://2018.quatic.org

Publications

As in the previous editions, papers accepted at the Thematic Tracks will be published by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS). The American Society for Quality has partnered with QUATIC in the publication of special issues in the Software Quality Professional journal. Additionally, there will be other journal special issues, an open call on the conference topics in the Springer's Software Quality Journal, and a call inviting top papers from the DevOps track in the Wiley Journal of Software Evolution and Process.
