Because of : the growing complexity of information systems, continuous attention to and : assessment of database and datawarehouses quality throughout the development : process are necessary to produce quality systems. Commitment to quality in : software development is essential both for satisfying customers and : improving the productivity of the development process. It is time to : consider information quality as a main goal to achieve, instead of a : subproduct of database creation and development processes. : : Papers are solicited in a broad range of related topics including, but no : limited to: : : · Quality in Conceptual Modelling : · Data Quality : · Metrics for Conceptual Modelling : · Database Quality : · Metrics for Databases : · Data Quality in Datawarehouses : : DQI´2000 SESSION ORGANAIZERS : : Mario Piattini Velthuis, Associate Proffesor, [mpiattin@inf-cr.uclm.es] : Marcela Fabiana Genero, Associate Proffesor, [mgenero@inf-cr.uclm.es] : : Languages & Computer Systems Department : University of Castilla-La Mancha : Ronda de Calatrava 5 : 13071 - Ciudad Real : Spain : : Tel. : +34 926 295300 Ext. 3747 : Fax : +34 926 295351 : : Program Committe : : Alejandra Cechich Universidad del Comahue (Argentine) : Calero Coral Universidad de Castilla La Mancha (Spain) : Esperanza Manso Universidad de Valladolid (Spain) : Esperanza Marcos Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Spain) : Martina Marre Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentine) : Oscar Pastor Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) : José Antonio Rodero Universidad de Murcia (Spain) : Angélica Urrutia Universidad Católica del Maule (Chile) : : IMPORTANT DATES : : Paper Submissions: March 3rd, 2000 : Notification of acceptance: April 3rd, 2000 : Camera-ready papers due: May 2nd, 2000 : : SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS : : Authors should submit a paper in English of up 5,000 words (or 10 pages), by : e-mail (attached file in an accepted format- see below).
