THE FIRST ASIA-PACIFIC CONFERENCE ON QUALITY SOFTWARE
(APAQS 2000)
Second Call for Papers

BACKGROUND
The quality of software has an important bearing on the financial and
safety aspects in our daily lives. Unfortunately, software systems
often fail to deliver according to promises. It is well known that
there are still unresolved errors in many of the software systems that
we are using every day. The Asia-Pacific region is far from being
immune to these problems. The prime objective of the conference is to
provide a forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from
this region to address this issue seriously.

various aspects of software testing or quality assurance. Specific
topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Automated software testing
