CONQUEST 2004 conference program.

Greeting from Prof. Bernd Hindel, President of ASQF:

The software industry has always been one of the most globalized branches.

Economic development during the part few years has even reinforced this trend. As a matter of face, a regional market for software does not exist. It is therefore the ability to compete on an international level that sets the standards for every company. ASQF has consequently followed this path. The founding of iSQI (International Software Quality Institute) in cooperation with the Bavarian state government an Bavaria's Software Initiative marked another milestone. We know now that regional or even national standards withoin the field of software quality will not be relevant in the long run.

The transition of ASQF's certified program for further education in to iSQI will bring about the program's international breakthrough and turn in into the key standards for further training in software quality professions worldwide. CONQUEST, too, has become more international this year. Never in the eight-year history of the conference have more speakers and participants from the world over gathered in Nuremberg. Never were the possibilities for companies to establish international contacts and business relations better than at CONQUEST 2004.
