CALL FOR PAPERS The 6th International Workshop on Conceptual Modeling in Requirements Engineering and Business Analysis (MREBA 2019) https://sites.google.com/view/ mrebaworkshop19/ Co-located with the 38th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2019) Salvador BA, Brazil, November 4th–7th, 2019 ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------- Paper submission: June 30th, 2019 Author notification: July 21st, 2019 Camera-Ready submission: August 4th, 2019 ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------- Requirements Engineering (RE) and Business Analysis (BA) are nowadays common practices within organizations, often applied in tandem. In this context, the use of Conceptual Modeling methods and languages are an essential practice, since both fields require conceptual models for analysis, reasoning, and documentation. The MREBA workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing the interplay between Requirements Engineering and Business Analysis topics and Conceptual Modeling. In particular, the workshop focuses on how requirements modeling can be effectively used as part of Business Analysis and Systems Engineering. Important questions for MREBA are: What are the fundamental objectives and premises of RE/BA and conceptual modeling respectively, and how can they complement each other? What conceptual modeling techniques can be utilized in RE/BA? How can RE/BA modeling be applied successfully in a business environment? What lessons are there to be learned from industrial experiences? What empirical data can support cost-benefit analyses when adopting RE/BA methods? Are there applications, domains or types of project settings for which RE/BA approaches are particularly suitable or not? What degree of formalization and automation or interactivity is feasible and appropriate for which types of participants during RE/BA modeling?
Topics of Interest ------------------- Submissions should address the relation between Requirements Engineering and/or Business Analysis and conceptual modeling on the selected topic. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Modeling for Business Analysis and Business Intelligence - Elicitation, analysis and evaluation of requirements - Domain understanding and scenarios analysis - Management and reuse of requirements - Capturing prioritization, customization and preferences - Modeling methodologies, processes, and methods - Stakeholder analysis and communication - Requirements as part of Enterprise Modeling and Enterprise Architecture - Goal/Intention-Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) - Data-centric Requirements Engineering - Modeling as part of collaborative RE/BA - RE/BA model scalability, complexity, and modularity - Industrial or systems requirements modeling - Model feedback and validation - RE/BA language interoperability, integration, transformation - Ontological perspectives on RE/BA models - Capturing laws, regulation, and compliance - Visual notation for RE/BA models - Analysis and reasoning, including decision support - Modeling security, privacy, risk, and safety - Industrial experiences, empirical studies and tools related to RE/BA modeling
Submission Instructions --------------------------- Since the proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series, authors must submit manuscripts using the LNCS style. See http://www.springer.de/ comp/lncs/authors.html for style files and details. The page limit for submitted papers (as well as for final, camera-ready papers) is 10. Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or exceeding the page limit will not be reviewed and automatically rejected. Submission is done through EasyChair. Please select the Workshop track when submitting. EasyChair Submission: https://easychair.org/ conferences/?conf=er2019 – please pay attention to select the correct track.
