IMPORTANT NEWS!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEST SELECTED PAPERS OF WeRE 2011 WILL BE INVITED TO SUBMIT AN EXTENDED VERSION IN A SPECIAL ISSUE OF JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE (LISTED IN JCR, IMPACT FACTOR: 1.340) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEADLINE --> 3rd May 2011
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd International Workshop on The Web and Requirements Engineering (WeRE'11) http://gplsi.dlsi.ua.es/congresos/were11 In conjuntion with 11th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2011) Paphos, Cyprus, July 20-21, 2011 Conference Web Site: http://icwe2011.webengineering.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Motivation& Purpose ------------------------------- The International Workshop on the Web and Requirements Engineering (WeRE) will offer an international forum for exchanging ideas on both using Web technologies as a platform for requirements engineering, and applying requirements engineering in the development and use of web-based applications. We invite to submit original, high-quality papers that present on-going work on new ideas and experiences with Requirements Engineering and the Web. The workshop will focus on discussion and exchange of ideas among researchers, designers, and users who are working or are interested in any combination of these two main topics. In the last decade, the number and complexity of web-based applications and the amount of information they offer has been growing exponentially. In the context of Software Engineering, design methods and methodologies have been introduced to support the development of these complex applications in a systematic way. However, most of these methodologies focus on de! sign and neglect other tasks, notably requirement analysis and quality management. However, in the development of traditional (non-web) applications both practitioners and process experts regard requirements engineering as a phase of crucial importance in the development process. It is well-known that the most common and time-consuming errors as well as the most expensive ones to repair, are those caused by inadequate engineering of requirements. Moreover, web-based applications demand new requirements engineering techniques that need to be adapted to a large, open and changing community of, can deal with navigational requirements and broad in scope so that they can account for business processes as well as web usability. These new techniques will need to offer more participatory environments to support effective collaboration among stakeholders. In this context, the Web (especially Web 2.0 applications), provide a convenient platform to allow stakeholders and users alike m! ore active participation in requirements engineering.
Topics of interest ----------------------- The scope of the WeRE workshop includes but is not limited to: -Web requirements elicitation and analysis-Web requirements validation and verification -Web engineering methods and tools supporting requirements-Traceability in Web requirements-Modeling of requirements, goals, and domains in Web engineering-Prototyping and simulation in Web requirements engineering-Evolution of Web requirements-Alignment between business and Web requirements-Social, cultural, and cognitive factors in Web requirements engineering -User-centred analysis and design-Domain specific modelling languages addressing requirements for Web applications-Web 2.0 and requirements engineering-Requirements engineering for rich internet applications-Model-driven approaches based on requirements models for Web applications and rich internet applicationsSubmission
Guidelines ----------------
Paper submission will be electronic by using the EasyChair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=were2011
The length of submitted papers should not exceed 10 pages. Paper submissions should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0
Accepted papers will be published as post-proceeding in the Springer LNCS series and be mailed to all the conference attendees. We are also negotiating a special issue in a JCR journal for the publication of extended versions of the best contributions to the workshop.
