2008 Call for Papers and Abstracts
January 1, 2008
Announcing the 26th Annual Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference, October 13-15, 2008 at Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon.
The volunteers of the 26th Annual PNSQC invite you to submit as many abstracts and papers as you like on our theme for 2008 of “Collaborative Quality.”
World-class quality does not happen in a vacuum. Agile-inspired collaboration spans levels, disciplines, and industries. We would like to hear your ideas and experiences on…
- Collaboration between individuals
- Collaboration between companies
- Collaboration between teams
- Collaboration between industries
Bridging the past and the future, we are calling for abstracts and/or papers this year. For the first 25 years, we called only for abstracts but the software quality landscape has changed and PNSQC is changing with it. It is not the nascent field of the 1980s.
The Selection Committee evaluates submissions on their originality, significance, soundness, clarity, and relevance to the conference theme.
We have extended the submission period to May 1, 2008. Notification of conditional acceptance is scheduled for May 17. Papers presented at PNSQC are peer-reviewed during the summer months and final acceptance of papers is subject to the late-summer decisions of PNSQC’s Program Committee. For more information or to make submissions, click here.
Paper presenters receive a complimentary admission to the two-day technical program portion of the conference where they present their completed papers in a 40-minute time slot. All accepted papers are published in the conference proceedings.
PNSQC has a strong Pacific Northwest region attendance profile with a substantial proportion of national and international presenters and invited speakers.
The conference attracts a diverse audience and is considered a “must attend” event for software product managers, quality professionals, Agilists, managers, contractors, consultants, customers, developer-testers, tester-developers, and maintenance engineers.
What can the software quality industry learn from quality in other industries like education, health care, manufacturing, government? What can other industries learn from us? Tell us.
PNSQC Mission: Enable knowledge exchange to produce higher quality software
