This international event is held for the first time in Spain, by the Escuela Superior de Informática de Ciudad Real
The Higher School of Computer Science of the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) at the Ciudad Real Campus celebrates the twelfth International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communication Technologies (QUATIC 11) from September 13 to 2019. In its twelfth edition, -it is the first time that this forum has stopped in Spain-, 70 researchers from 19 countries participate and will discuss advances in the sector.
