CALL FOR PAPERS: 

The blooming of information society is pushing software development to move 
fast to match the expectations of a wide and globalised audience of users and 
consumers. This trend fosters the adoption of programming languages, 
development methodologies, network and hardware infrastructures that enable a 
fast shifting from prototyping to deployment and allow short release cycles. 
Yet, it is crucial that software systems satisfy their functional and non- 
functional requirements. 

Fitting together the conflicting demands for speed and quality is a challenge 
that calls for new paradigms and methodologies of software verification and 
validation. The ICT Verification and Validation (V&V) track of QUATIC 2016 is 
a showcase and discussion forum for innovative research proposals that address 
this challenge. 

Authors are invited to submit technical papers, empirical studies, success 
stories or any other form of original research contribution. Suggested topics 
of interest for this track include, but are not restricted to, V&V paradigms 
and methodologies such as:  

+ model checking  
+ abstract interpretation 
+ static analysis  
+ type systems  
+ testing  
+ test generation  
+ models and calculi for software and requirements specification  
+ software quality metrics and other quantitative methods  
+ dynamic/runtime/online techniques 

for quality assurance in the context of:  

+ agile methodologies 
+ continuous delivery  
+ cloud computing: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, SLA, etc. 
+ mobile computing  
+ Internet of things  
+ automation in development 
+ dynamic programming languages 


SUBMISSION PROCESS: 

Authors should submit to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=quatic2016 

a PDF version of their paper. Full Papers must be in IEEE format and 

not exceed 6 pages, including figures, references, and appendices. 

Work In Progress (WIP) works with relevant preliminary results are limited to 3 pages. 

Submissions must be original and will be reviewed by the Track Program Committee. 

Accepted papers will be published in the electronic IEEE proceedings of QUATIC'2016, 

subject to one of the authors registering for the conference. 

The authors of the best papers of this thematic track will be invited to submit extended

 versions to the main track of the conference.
