Conferences on Quality
The BCS Quality Specialist Group’s Annual International SQM and INSPIRE Conferences will be held from Monday 20th to Wednesday 22nd of August 2012 at the University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland.
The 20th SQM 2012 conference aims at promoting co-operation and greater understanding among practitioners and academics in European and international context by providing an opportunity to share research and practical experience.
Whilst SQM addresses issues relevant to business and industry, the 17th INSPIRE conference addresses process improvement (PI) issues related to European and international teaching, training and research.
For both conferences we strongly encourage collaborative (academic and industrial) submissions related to industrial experience and case studies, as well as reports on recent research results and ongoing research and practice.
Aims and Objectives:
- to raise awareness of process improvement issues in software development
- to promote understanding of software quality and process improvement issues in the field of IS

- to improve the quality of software-based products and telecommunication systems
- to relate software quality properties to the quality requirements of work and life in general
