QRS 2024 : The 24th IEEE International Conference on Software Quality, Reliability, and Security

QRS 2024: The 24th IEEE International Conference on Software Quality, Reliability, and Security

July 1 to 5, 2024
Cambridge, UK

Conference Website: https://qrs24.techconf.org/

In 2015, the SERE conference (IEEE International Conference on Software Security and Reliability) and the QSIC conference (IEEE International Conference on Quality Software) were combined into a single conference, QRS, with Q representing Quality, R for Reliability, and S for Security, sponsored by the IEEE Reliability Society. This conference gives engineers and scientists from both industry and academia a platform to present their ongoing work, relate their research outcomes and experiences, and discuss the best and most efficient techniques for the development of reliable, secure, and trustworthy systems. It also provides an excellent opportunity for the academic community to become more aware of subject areas critical to the software industry as practitioners bring their needs to the table. The 24th QRS conference will be held from July 1-5, 2024 in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
