The 12th International Conference on Quality Software (QSIC 2012) will be held in Xi'an, China, 27 to 28 of August, 2012. The QSIC series of conferences is an established event bringing together people in the area of software and systems quality.

I was happy to learn that Zhou Chaochen (Chinese Academy of Sciences), my former boss at UNU-IIST in Macao, is the General Chair of the event. Zhou Chaochen is the inventor of the Duration Calculus. I joined the UNU faculty in Macao from 2002 to 2006.

For the first time, QSIC is planning an industry day with a dedicated program committee build from practitioners from industry and applied research. I was invited to join this program committee. Wolfgang Grieskamp (Google) and Hongyu Zhang (Tsinghua University) are the Industry Chairs of QSIC 2012.

Paper Submission Due: 23rd April 2012

Further details can be found on the website of QSIC 2012.

P.S: QSIC is an established conference series. I had my first QSIC paper in 2005 and my latest paper at QSIC 2010:
