Two papers written by members of the group will be presented at the 23rd International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE 2011), a CORE B conference that will be held in Miami Beach, USA from July 7th to July 9th. The papers are "Extending Software Quality Models - A Sample In The Semantic Technologies Domain", written by Filip Radulovic and Raúl García Castro, and "SET-MM - A Software Evaluation Technology Maturity Model", written by Raúl García Castro.

"Extending Software Quality Models - A Sample In The Semantic Technologies Domain". In order to correctly evaluate semantic technologies, which have become widely adopted in the last years, we need to put evaluations under the scope of unique quality model. This paper presents the quality model for semantic technologies. First, some well-known software quality models are described, together with methods for extending them. Afterwards, a new method for extending quality models is proposed and it is then used to define a quality model for semantic technologies by extending the ISO 9126 quality model. The proposed model is also validated by analysing existing evaluations of semantic technologies.

"SET-MM - A Software Evaluation Technology Maturity Model". The application of software evaluation technologies in research areas to verify and validate research is a key factor for the progressive evolution of these areas. However, nowadays it is not straightforward to have a clear picture of the maturity of the technologies used in evaluations or to know which steps to follow to improve the maturity of such technologies. The paper describes a Software Evaluation Technology Maturity Model (SET-MM) that can be used to assess a research area's software evaluation technologies.
