New Conferences, Workshops Related To Web Quality
The technical community is always moving, and always changing.
And sometimes there are coincidental events that may suggest
a trend.
(Once is a incident, twice is a curious incident,
three times means it's a trend...
isn't that how it goes?)
Here are the events that recently caught our notice:
-
The
2nd International
Workshop on Automated Specification
and Verification of Web Systems,
set for Cyprus in November 2006, aims to focus
on issues surrounding web applications.
In particular, the workshop seems to aim to draw attention
to problems of commercial web applications, e.g. Amazon
et. al.
-
The
AQSerM: Advances in Quality of Service Management,
workshop, is supported by King's College London, and
scheduled for October 2006.
This workshop
tries to bring together technology for
Quality-of-Service (QoS) of a variety of kinds.
-
The
Haifa Verification Conference 2006,
set for October 2006 at the IBM
Research Lab in Haifa, Israel
tries to focus on hardware AND software quality and
verification issues.
Perhaps this is the more "conventional" of the three
events, but considering the sponsorship and the
location this may be the most technically sophisticated.
What ties these three events together is that it seems that
there is something of a resurgence of concern about
software quality, and with that comes, of course,
the need to communicate about what the problems are
and how to address them.
That's a good thing to have happen.
