CALL FOR PAPERS SOFTWARE QUALITY EDUCATION TRACK

SBQS 2020: The 19th Brazilian Symposium on Software Quality

December 1st to 4th, 2020 - ONLINE

http://www.sbc.org.br/sbqs2020

 

THE SBQS

The Brazilian Symposium on Software Quality is the main Brazilian forum devoted to Software Quality. Software quality manifests in two complementary and dependent aspects: Process Quality and Product Quality. Due to the current dependence on software and value-added services, research on software quality and its application to products and services is both a necessity and a differential to provide value to organizations and their business.

Since its conception, SBQS has focused on the exchange of experiences between academia and industry, providing an environment where researchers, educators and the community of practice of Software Quality and Software Engineering meet to present and discuss ideas, experiences and findings, aiming at innovation with the potential to influence positively the software industry.

Aim and Scope

The SBQS Education Track is looking for contributions that address challenges, innovations, and best practices in Software Quality education. We are interested in discussing how to transfer Software Quality knowledge to future software quality professionals and researchers.

Topics of Interest

Submissions on all topics related to Software Quality education are welcome. We are particularly interested in papers addressing curriculum development, empirical studies, best practices, personal or institutional experiences, and conceptual or theoretical work. We are open to a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to):

  • New and innovative best practices for software quality education
  • Methodological aspects of software quality education
  • Innovative curriculum or course formats
  • Teaching of software quality in Software Engineering courses, Computer Science courses, Information Systems courses, Information Technology courses and others
  • Teaching of processes, methods, techniques, and tools for software quality
  • Use of active learning methodologies for software quality education
  • Problem-based teaching/learning in software quality
  • Tools and methods for evaluating software quality learning
  • Use of tools, simulators, and games in software quality education
  • Use of games and competitions (“gamification”) in software quality education
  • Integration of practical experiences into software quality education
  • Educational research methods in software quality education
  • Research and practice synergies for software quality education
  • Interdisciplinarity in software quality education (with other disciplines and courses)
  • Innovative methods to keep professors updated for teaching software quality
  • Methods for e-teaching/e-learning in software quality
  • Education in software quality that stimulates entrepreneurship

Evaluation Criteria

Papers on this track will be reviewed based on their originality, relevance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation.

Manuscript Preparation and Submission  

Please be aware that ACM has introduced a new ACM Master Article Templates and Publication Workflow. Starting March 1, 2020, all ICPS events are required to use the new workflow: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow. The Master article templates and workflow are to be used in conjunction with the ACM e-Rights System and the ACM CCS 2012 Author Support Tool found in the ACM Digital Library.

They must be no longer than 10 pages, including all figures, tables, appendixes, references and acknowledgment. Papers must be submitted electronically through JEMS system.

Articles should be written in Portuguese or English. Submissions in English are strongly encouraged. As in the last editions, the annals of the event will be indexed online. The event chain is in the process of negotiating to publish the full article of the SBQS tracks in the ACM DL.

Submissions that are not in compliance with the required format or that are out of the scope of the Software Quality Education Track will be rejected without review. 

The review process includes a rebuttal period in which the authors will have access to the reviewers’ comments and may argue and answer questions from the reviewers before the final acceptance/rejection decision.

The acceptance of a paper implies that at least one of its authors will register for the symposium to present it.

Papers submitted to the SBQS Education Track must not have been simultaneously submitted to any other forum (conference or journal), nor should they have already been published elsewhere.

Best Paper Award

SBQS awards the best paper in each track. The Steering Committee awards the best paper based on the reviews and comments provided by the Program Committee. Awarded papers are announced during the event.
