BACKGROUND Software is playing a crucial role in modern societies. Not only do people rely on it for their daily operations or business, but for their lives as well. For this reason, correct and consistent behavior of software systems is a fundamental part of end user expectations. Additionally, businesses require cost-effective production, maintenance, and operation of their systems. Thus, the demand for good quality software is increasing and is setting it as a differentiator for the success or failure of a software product. In fact, high quality software is becoming not just a competitive advantage but a necessary factor for companies to be successful. The main question that arises is how quality is measured and communicated to the several stakeholders of an organisation. What, where and when we assess and assure quality, are still open issues. Many views have been expressed about software quality attributes, including maintainability, evolvability, portability, robustness, reliability, usability, and efficiency. These have been formulated in standards such as ISO/IEC-9126, its successor ISO/IEC 25010 (SQuaRE) and CMMI. However, the debate about quality and maintainability between software producers, vendors and users is ongoing, while organizations need the ability to evaluate the software systems they use or develop from multiple angles. So, is "Software quality in the eye of the beholder"? This workshop session aims at feeding into this debate by establishing what the state of the practice and the way forward is. TOPICS We are pleased to invite paper submissions for a workshop in the IEEE 16th European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering (http://csmr2012.sed.hu/) on Software Quality and Maintainability. We are looking for research and empirical contributions in areas including, but not limited to the following: 1. Software quality attributes 2. Software measurement 3. Software maintainability 4. Software quality assessment: practice and automation 5. Software analysis using automated techniques 6. Software evolution 7. Software economics 8. Software quality standards 9. Software quality certification 10. Experience reports PAPER SUBMISSION We solicit short position papers or long papers with a maximum length of 10 pages, following the IEEE Computer Society formatting guidelines (see http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). See the workshop website for further submission details (http://sqm2012.sig.eu/). The authors of papers accepted at SQM 2012 will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue at Springer's Software Quality Journal.

These difficulties may be most reported at the maintenance and upgrade stage of the lifecycle, as this is the point at which the expense is typically incurred: however, these difficulties are often the manifestations of problems that have been seeded much earlier in development. At the heart of many of the problems is a failure to deal with the "change-proneness" or volatility of the software system artefacts. Software volatility is also an indicator of roots and sources of growth of complexity of the software system. Thus, understanding better the driving factors behind software volatility is key to improve the development process of software systems and also to impose stricter controls on the complexity of expanding software systems. A large-scale system may be complex by design, or may have arrived in that state as a result of integration over time of a number of component systems, patching of existing systems or wrapping acquired components-off-the-shelf (COTS) items, or a combination of these things. As a result, the extent to which the system as a whole can be understood, and the extent to which interactions between subsystems can be analysed, is compromised. Overall the complexity of the software system may hinder considerably the comprehensibility of the software system, especially the integration of its components and the evolution of the relationships between these components. Thus, having more efficient ways to identify, represent, visualise and interpret complexity aspects of large-scale software systems will help software engineers to get a handle on such systems, improve their intuitive understanding of how the system works and evolves, and be more efficient in limiting and reducing the complexity growth of the system. TOPICS The workshop is concerned with approaches to address, measure, and control volatility and complexity in complex software systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * The definition and evaluation of metrics for assessment of the volatility of a software system * Metrics based on complex systems analysis methods (e.g. network metrics) * Identification of the most change-prone artefacts of a system * Architectural approaches for containing the spread of changes through the system * Probabilistic reasoning about quality and functionality of software systems using software complexity and volatility metrics * Evolution of volatility and complexity of large-scale software systems * Dynamic visualisation of the behaviour and evolution of software systems * Visualisation supported reasoning about complex software systems PAPER SUBMISSION Prospective presenters should submit short position papers or full papers (max. 10 pages in the format used by the CSMR conference). All accepted papers will be published online on the workshop website. The organisers intend to publish formal proceedings after the workshop. See the workshop website for further submission details (http://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/vcss2012/).
