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. Papers must be in CPS format and not exceed 6
pages, including figures, references, and appendices. Submissions must be
original and will be reviewed by the Track Program Committee. Accepted
