The book "Calidad de Sistemas de Información basada en estándares internaciones" ("Quality of Information Systems based in international standards"), edited by the Alarcos Research Group and AQCLab has reached its 6th edition.
Calidad de Sistemas de Información, written by colleagues Mario Piattini, Félix García, Ignacio García Rodríguez de Guzmán and Francisco Pino, presents a holistic view of the quality of information systems through existing international standards. These standards presented in the book address different principles and good practices in the quality of the different components of information systems: processes, projects, products, services, people, etc.
This sixth edition revises the standards presented to reflect changes in their latest published versions.
Throughout this work, scientific rigour has been combined with practical experience, providing a current and complete overview of the problems associated with the quality of information systems and the techniques, models and tools that can be used to improve it.
You can purchase the book through Amazon, both as a Kindle version and as a softcover print edition.
AQCLab collaborates as a sponsor of the 15th edition of the International Conference on Quality in Information and Communication Technologies (QUATIC 2022), which is taking place at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the UCLM in Talavera de la Reina, from 12 to 14 September 2022.
QUATIC is an International Conference of reference in the ICT sector, which in this edition brings together more than 50 experts from more than 15 different countries, both from the academic and industrial environments, for the exchange of ideas, approaches and good practices that allow the adoption of a "culture of quality" for ICT processes and products.
In addition to collaborating as a sponsor, AQCLab participates in session 5 of the congress (Industrial Experiences and Applications) presenting the paper "Data quality certification using ISO/IEC 25012: Industrial experiences", which describes the results and lessons learned from several cases of data quality certification based on ISO/IEC 25012 that have been carried out with various companies, and in which AQCLab has participated as the evaluation entity.
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.
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.
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.
