Data has become in one of the most important assets for organizations. Indeed, organizations have realized about this situation and nowadays, more and more companies which work intensively with data, have demonstrated a growing interest in assessing and improving the levels of data quality of their data resources. They know that they can get some valuable profits in order to achieve a better organizational performance.
Among these organizations are those whose main aim is to develop software products. As known, in a software development project a lot of data is generated and used through the different phase of the development. To have the sound data at the right time can be of vital importance to make decisions about the development in order to avoid errors and mistakes. These ones can cause the breaking up of the budget or of the agenda. In addition, with the introduction of the new business models, like Global Software Development into the current panorama, the necessary efforts have become harder since data coming from different sources must be coordinated, integrated and communicated. By getting data with adequate levels of quality, a development team can assure better software products.
With the first edition of this workshop we want to promote all the areas related to the application of data and information quality foundations to Software Development Process, by providing to the developers and researchers of Data Quality and Software Engineering areas with a forum where they can share their experiences on dealing with problems due to inadequate levels of quality of the software development data, and discuss about how to identify and improve the critical data. Moreover, we hope to identify during the workshop possible future lines related to the topic of the workshop. |

Ismael Caballero is PhD in Computer Science. He works as Associate Professor at the Escuela Superior of Informática of the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) in Ciudad Real (Spain). He works with Dra. Coral Calero in the line research area of Data and Information Quality into the Alarcos Research Groups, in the UCLM. His main research interest has a twofold perspective: on one hand, he is interested in studying how data quality can help Software Engineering to get better software products (e.g. by optimizing the levels of quality of data related to Project Management), and on the other hand, to determine how Software Engineering foundations can be used generically to develop Data Quality-aware software products. Ismael has served as member of Program Committee of the International Conference on Information Quality since 2006, and Australasian Conference on Information Quality (2006 and 2007), and he is member of the editorial board of the International Journal on Information Quality, to name a few related to the field. His e-mail is: Ismael.Caballero@uclm.es
Coral Calero is PhD in Computer Science. Associate Professor at the Escuela Superior de Informática of the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Ciudad Real (Spain). She is a responsible of the Web line research into the Alarcos Research Group, in the same University. Her research interests are: database/data-warehouse quality, web/portal quality, software measurement, empirical software engineering, ontologies, software visualization and data quality. She has organized successfully the 1st Web Services Quality Wokshop (WQW 2002) in conjunction with WISE 2002, the Workshop on Quantitative Approaches in Object-Oriented Software Engineering (QAOOSE) in conjunction with ECOOP from 2002 to 2007, the 1st Workshop on Database Maintenance and Reengineering (DBMR 2002) in conjunction with ICSM 2002 and the first workshop on quality, verification and validation in conjunction with ICWE 2007. Her e-mail is: Coral.Calero@uclm.es
Latif Al-Hakim lectures in management in the Faculty of Business at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. His experience spans thirty seven years in industry, research and development and academic institutions.
Latif received his first degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1968. His MSc (1977) in Industrial and Systems Engineering and PhD (1983) in Management Science were awarded from the University of Wales (UK). Dr. Hakim has published extensively in industrial engineering, information management and systems modelling. He is the author and editor of nine books, twelve chapters in books and more than 80 papers in various journals and conference proceedings. He is the Editor-in-Chief of International journal of Information quality and Associate Editor International journal of Networking and Virtual Organisations. Latif has also conducted international technology transfer seminars and consulted to a number of major manufacturing and service organisations in Australia including automotive, aerospace, house appliance, metals, plastics, food, banks and healthcare organisations. His email is: hakim@usq.edu.au
Manuel Serrano is PhD in Computer Science. He is Associate Professor at the Escuela Superior of Informática of the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) in Spain. He also works with Dra. Coral Calero in the line research area of Data and Information Quality into the Alarcos Research Groups, in the UCLM. His research interests are Software Quality and, in particular, Data Warehouse Quality, Empirical Software Engineering and Data Quality. He has organized successfully the 1st Workshop on Software Audits and Metrics (SAM 2004) in conjunction with ICEIS 2004 and has served as Program Committee Member of several international events.
