CALL FOR PAPERS
******************************************************************* 11th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE'03) 8th-12th September 2003, Monterey Bay, California U.S.A. http://www.re03.org ******************************************************************* Sponsored by TCSE - IEEE Computer Society In cooperation with ACM Sigsoft - ACM
Requirements Engineering (RE) is the branch of systems engineering concerned with managing desired properties and constraints of software-intensive systems and with goals to be achieved in the environment. It is concerned with these aspects from the problem analysis stage to the implementation and maintenance stages of a system. Additional variety is added because of differences in issues that arise in different domains, ranging from public administration software to workflow systems, groupware and embedded systems and control software.
RE 03 will contain technical paper tracks and an industry presentation track. Two kinds of technical papers can be submitted, research papers and experience papers.
* Research papers must present an original research result in a clear way. They must indicate the research method used as well as the significance of the contribution to the field. Examples of research methods used are case study research, empirical research, experimental research and analytical research. * Experience papers must present a significant experience in a clear way. They must indicate the lessons learned from the experience. Examples of experience papers are a success or failure report about the transfer of known research results to industrial practice, and a report about an industrial experience that is generalizable to other contexts.
In addition to the technical papers, there will be industry presentations. See the submission page at http://www.re03.org for more on industry track submissions.
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: * Requirements elicitation techniques * Requirements validation techniques * Requirements management and traceability * Requirements evolution * Requirements, software architecture and business architecture * Requirements prioritizing and negotiation * Combination of formal and informal specification techniques * Requirements for high-assurance systems * Making formal techniques usable * RE for mechatronics systems * Specification of quality attributes * Requirements metrics * Tool support for RE * Prototyping, animation and execution of requirements * Requirements for business systems (workflow, groupware, e-commerce systems) * Requirements for web-based systems * Requirements for ubiquitous computing * Requirements for product families * Requirements engineering case studies and experiences * Cognitive, social and cultural factors in RE * Requirements engineering education
SUBMISSION INFORMATION Electronic submissions will be accepted at the RE'03 Paper submission site. Authors without web access must make advance arrangements with the Programme Chair at least one week before the deadline. Papers must not exceed 10 pages in length, and must in the IEEE CS Press Proceedings format (see http://computer.org/cspress/). Accepted papers must be accompanied by a signed IEEE copyright release form. See the submission page for information on how to submit technical papers (research and experience), workshop proposals, panel and tutorial proposals, doctoral workshop papers, posters, research demos and industry track contributions. For any other queries, please contact info@re03.org. Revised and extended versions of a selection of the best papers will appear, depending upon focus, in a special issue of the Requirements Engineering Journal or IEEE Software.
EVALUATION Research papers will be evaluated on their originality, significance, technical soundness of result, soundness of research method and clarity of presentation. Special attention will be paid to the validation of the results. Experience papers will be evaluated on the novelty of the contribution, significance for practice, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation. Special attention will be paid to the (positive or negative) lessons learned.
