Theme and Objectives

Quality assurance is a growing research domain within the Information Systems (IS) and Conceptual Modeling (CM) disciplines. Ongoing research on quality in IS and CM is highly diverse and encompasses theoretical aspects including quality definition and quality models, and practical/empirical aspects such as the development of methods, approaches and tools for quality measurement and improvement. Research can be general and conceptual in nature or focus on specific application domains, such as web application quality, data warehouse quality, requirements model quality, model transformations quality, etc.

The aim of the workshop is twofold. Firstly, to bring together researchers and industry developers working on various aspects of information systems quality, in order to exchange research ideas and results and discuss about them. Secondly, to promote research on information systems and conceptual model quality to the broader conceptual modeling research community attending ER 2007.
