===================================================== Call for Papers First workshop Quality of Models and Models of Quality QMMQ In conjunction with the 33rd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER2014) To be held in Atlanta, GA U.S.A. from 27-30 October 2014 http://qmmq2014.cnam.fr/ ===================================================== *Scope* Quality assurance has been and still is a very challenging issue within the Information Systems (IS) and Conceptual Modeling (CM) disciplines. This ongoing research 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 focused on specific application domains, such as web application quality, data warehouse quality, requirements model quality, model transformations quality, etc. Although research contributions are highly diverse and relevant, they are not adopted by practitioners as useful solutions to reach better developed solutions. Nowadays, with the development of web technologies and the growth of collected and exploited data volumes (or to exploit), IS and CM communities are faced to new challenges. They have to envision new perspectives to the problem of evaluating quality in IS. The QMMQ workshop intends to provide a space for fruitful exchanges involving both researchers and practitioners having a variety of interests such as: data quality, information quality, system quality as well as models, methods, processes and tools for managing quality. The aim of the workshop is twofold: firstly, to provide an opportunity for researchers and industry developers working on various aspects of information systems quality to exchange research ideas and results and discuss them; secondly, to promote research on information systems and conceptual model quality to the broader conceptual modeling research community attending ER 2014. Data and information in general need to be of high quality to be valuable. However, this quality, to be ensured, requires reliable IS that can only be designed with a precise ontological commitment. Moreover, research on quality needs more contributions based on experimentation to provide empirical evidences of successful IS design. Empirical Software Engineering techniques and protocols should be followed in the CM modeling to provide reliable and useful results to assess IS quality. *Topics of interest* - Quality constructs, models and ontologies - Quality measures and instruments - Experiments for validating quality models, measures and instruments - Methodological issues of research on IS quality - Method and tool support for improving and monitoring quality - Quality of requirements engineering artifacts and processes - Quality of models and meta-models - Quality of ontologies and reference models - Data quality - Big data quality - Quality modeling languages - Ontological analysis of conceptual modeling grammars - Cost/benefit analysis of quality assurance processes - Quality assurance practices : case studies and experiences - Experiments and case studies on quality evaluation. *Important dates* Paper submission 02 May 2014 (extended to May 16th) Author notification 12 June 2014 Camera-ready paper submission 02 July 2014 Workshop dates 27 October - 30 October 2014 *Submission* https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qmmq2014 Authors guidelines : http://qmmq2014.cnam.fr/?content=guidelines *Co-organizers* Samira SI-SAID – CHERFI (CNAM, France) Oscar PASTOR (Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Spain) Charlotte HUG (University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, France), Publicity chair *Program Committee (to be completed)* Jacky AKOKA (CNAM, France) Said ASSAR (Telecom Ecole de Management, France) Laure BERTI-EQUILLE (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, France) Lotfi BOUZGUENDA (ISMIS, Tunisia) Cristina CACHERO (Universidad de Alicante, Spain) Isabelle COMYN-WATTIAU (CNAM-ESSEC, France) Rebecca DENECKÈRE (University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, France) Sophie DUPUY-CHESSA (Grenoble University, France) Virginie GOASDOUE-THION (University of Rennes I, France) Cesar GONZALEZ-PEREZ (Spanish National Research Council, Institute of Heritage Sciences, Spain) Roberto E.
