The workshop is scheduled : for Tuesday May 30, 2000. : : WORKSHOP INTRODUCTION & HISTORY : : An Open Hypermedia System (OHS) is typically a middleware : component which provides hypermedia functionality to all : applications on the users' desktop. Hence, existing tools and : applications can be hypermedia enabled using the functionality : provided by OHSs. : : Starting with OHS1 (held at ECHT '94 Edinburgh, Scotland), : a series of workshops around this overall theme of OHSs has : been organized: OHS2 (held at Hypertext '96 Washington, D.C.), : OHS3 (held at Hypertext '97 in sunny Southampton, UK), OHS4 (held : at Hypertext '98 in Pittsburgh, PA), and OHS5 (held at Hypertext : '99 in Darmstadt, Germany). : : The OHS community has established itself as a very active part of : the hypermedia research community. In March 1996, members of the : OHS community formed the Open Hypermedia Systems Working : Group (OHSWG). Since then, the OHSWG has been pursuing the : difficult and rewarding task of addressing interoperability : amongst Open Hypermedia Systems. Proposals for reference : architectures, protocols for Open Hypermedia Systems, : application scenarios, the distinction between different : hypertext application domains, issues of OHS and Web : integration, and many more contributions from both : researchers and practitioners build the repertoire of subjects : that have been addressed at previous workshops (for an overview of : these see http://www.aue.auc.dk/~kock/HomePage/events.html). : : WORKSHOP THEME & POSITION PAPERS : : Workshop papers should clearly state the author's view of important : results or research topics that should be addressed at the workshop. : Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: : : * Interoperability and standardisation issues in OHS, : including architectural issues, protocols, naming, etc. : * Application scenarios, experiences, hypertext domains, : and requirements for OHSs : * WWW and OHS settings : * Media aspects of OHSs such as synchronisation of contents and : link data, etc. : * Presentation aspects including issues of context awareness, etc. : * Progress reports by OHSWG subgroup chairs : : If you are in doubt whether your subject is appropriate for OHS6 : feel free to contact the organiser. : : Accepted papers will be published as Post-workshop Proceedings in : Springer's LNCS Series.

[forwarded] Advanced call for papers for the 2nd workshop on the Requirements Engineering Process
by Gustaf Neumann 07 Feb '00

07 Feb '00

Forwarded message from [camille(a)UNIV-PARIS1.FR (Camille Ben Achour)] sent originally on Mon, 7 Feb 2000 18:04:12 +0100: : <html> : <div align="center"> : The Second International Workshop on the : Requirements Engineering Process : : Innovative Techniques, Models, Tools to support the RE Process : : R E P ' 2 0 0 0 : 6th-8th of September 2000 : Greenwich United Kingdom : : Advanced CALL FOR PAPERS : : : </div> : Last year, the first REP workshop organised in Florence was a very : positive experience. Seventeen good or excellent quality papers were : published and presented by researchers and practitioners from Europe, : North America, North Africa and Asia. During two days, numerous : discussions have emerged, and we observed knowledge transfer from theory : to practice, from practice to theory, and between the various actors of : the requirements engineering domain. We would like to repeat this : excellent experience for year 2000 in a second edition of the : Requirements Engineering Process Workshop. : : : SCOPE of the WORKSHOP : : Experience in developing systems has shown that an inadequate : understanding of system requirements is the most important cause of users : dissatisfaction and systems failure. This has led to the area of : requirements engineering. : Requirements Engineering (RE) is the process of determining a complete, : correct and clear specification of a future software-intensive system : from the incomplete, inconsistent and ambiguous statements of need from : stakeholders as diverse as end-users, managers and domain experts. : Whereas conventional RE approaches focus on models and languages to : express system specifications, there has been a recent shift towards : Requirements Engineering Processes (REPs). The prevalent view is that : requirements emerge from a process of learning in which they are : elicited, prioritised, negotiated, evaluated and documented. Requirements : evolve with time. This necessitates managing requirement evolution and : aligning requirements to organisational changes. : : TOPICS : The goal of the REP workshop is to improve our understanding of the : RE process. This workshop shall provide a forum for the presentation and : discussion of : : :           · Innovative ideas : for REP :           · Best REP : practices :           · Industrial : problem statements :           · Evaluation and : comparison of approaches to REP : : This workshop is organised with the aim to bring together researchers and : practitioners from various disciplines such as Databases, Information : Systems, Software Engineering, Human Computer Interfaces, Systems : Engineering, Business Process Reengineering, Quality Management and : Method Engineering. The objective is to advance understanding about how : techniques from these disciplines and others can improve and empower the : requirements engineering process in organisations. It also aims at : discussing the lessons learned from large scale RE projects and : investigate approaches to keep track of good and bad REP experiences. : : : Topics include but are not restricted to : : :           · Theories and : models for the REP :           · Best RE practice : capitalisation :           · Models for the : REP quality assurance and improvement :           · Environments for : the RE process enactment and monitoring :           · REP traceability : :           · Engineering : techniques for the REP :           · Co-operative and : iterative learning process :           · Documenting : requirements and the RE process :           · RE method : engineering and CAME environments :           · Requirement : management processes : : PAPER SUBMISSION : Authors are invited to submit contributions representing original, : previously unpublished work.
