SIEMENS Mobility Spain, primera organización en alcanzar nivel de madurez 5 en ISO 33000

Siemens Mobility Spain has become the first organization worldwide to obtain the maturity level 5 ISO/IEC 33000 - ISO/IEC 12207 certificate for their software development lifecycle processes.

Maturity level 5 indicates that the organization carries out the continuous innovation of their processes based on quantitative process analysis and technology monitoring aligned to the mission and objectives of the organization.

The certificate was issued by AENOR, and was carried out using AENOR's MMIS v.2 model as a basis. The team that carried out the audit was made up of AQCLab staff, who collaborated with AENOR in the definition of the MMIS v.2 model.

[JULY 2022] Alarcos Research Group and AQCLab publish the book "Informática Cuántica"

Informática Cuántica

The Alarcos Research Group hhas published together with AQCLab the book "Informática Cuántica" ("Quantum Computing"), written by colleagues Mario Piattini, Manuel Serrano, José Antonio Cruz and Ricardo Pérez del Castillo.

This book presents the basic concepts of quantum computing and the most well-known algorithms, offering a general overview of the technologies for implementing quantum computers, the main quantum programming languages and tools, as well as the most active research areas in this field.

In addition to this overview of the current state of the art, the book also presents some questions about the implementation and future of quantum computing.

It is therefore a perfect book to get acquainted with the quantum computing world, a field that has sparked great interest in recent years, since its application covers several areas of knowledge and business, and its expectations are extraordinary due to the power it will provide to solve problems that are impossible with current classical technology because of the computational time they would require.

The book is available on Amazon, both as a Kindle device version and as a softcover print edition.

[MAY 2022] The Alarcos Research Group celebrates its 25th anniversary

The Alarcos Research Group of UCLM, the group from which the spin-off AQCLab was created with the goal of helping companies to evaluate and improve the quality of their software, is celebrating 25 years since its inception.

On this anniversary, we want to celebrate with our colleagues in the Alarcos Group the experience and dedication that has contributed and continues to contribute to research in software engineering, software and data quality and processes, green computing and quantum computing, among other areas of computer science.

[MAY 2022] AQCLab collaborates in an article published in the journal Information Systems regarding a methodology for classifying business rules for data quality evaluation

BR4DQ: A methodology for classifying business rules for data quality evaluation

Colleagues from the spin-offs AQCLab and DQTeam, together with members of the Alarcos Research Group have published the article "BR4DQ: A methodology for classifying business rules for data quality evaluation" in the journal Information Systems.

The article presents a methodology for classifying business rules for data, aligned with ISO/IEC 25012 and oriented to the preparation of organisations for the evaluation of the data quality of their repositories based on this standard.

The specification of the business rules that apply to a data repository is one of the inputs for the data quality assessment based on ISO/IEC 25000. These business rules are the set of atomic requirements, either structural or behavioural, that describe the constraints that apply to the data and that make it possible to determine its validity and its suitability for the objectives of the company that owns the data repository.

The methodology presented in the article is based on the grouping of business rules according to the selected data quality characteristics, with the aim of optimising the data quality measurement process, and driving and optimising the improvement of data quality.
