AIMS AND SCOPE

The International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology is a leading scientific conference that gathers experts from industry and academia to exchange ideas and approaches regarding all quality aspects in ICT systems engineering and management. This forum seeks to foster lively discussion on how to further the state-of-the-art and define future directions, as well as to disseminate advanced new methods, techniques, and tools. QUATIC 2024, now in its 17th edition, will be hosted in Pisa, in the beautiful region of Tuscany in central Italy, straddling the Arno just before it empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The conference is organized into thematic tracks that serve as dedicated discussion venues on focused topics of interest. The thematic tracks can be consulted on the conference website.

QUATIC 2024 invites practitioners and researchers to submit posters that present novel, recent and work-in-progress related to all aspects of Quality in ICT process, product, as well as practical tools and applications. Posters from students or researchers in their early career stage on new and exciting problems in all aspects of Quality in ICT are especially encouraged.

SUBMISSION

Authors should provide an extended abstract of the poster with 2 to 4 pages using the Springer proceedings template. Extended abstracts should briefly describe the research challenge and detail your approach to the problem; also they should identify the key contributions of the work being presented in the poster. The contributions can refer to research ideas and work in their early stages as well as evaluations. Providing preliminary results is suggested but not required.

Extended abstracts will not be part of the conference Springer proceedings. However, authors of the best posters from QUATIC 2024 will be invited to submit extended versions of their work to a Special Issue on Quality Assurance in ICT-based Systems to be published in the Elsevier Journal of Systems and Software.

All extended abstracts must conform to the Springer CCIS Format and be submitted through the EasyChair link:
