******************** Final CALL FOR WORKSHOPS *********************

                        --- RefsQ 2010 ---

           The 16th International Working Conference on
    Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality
             Essen (Germany), June 30 - July 2, 2010
                       http://www.refsq.org

Workshop submission deadline: January 29, 2010 (extended)
*******************************************************************

Since 1994, when the first RefsQ took place, Requirements
Engineering (RE) continued to be a dominant factor influencing the
quality of software, systems and services. The RefsQ working
conference series has now established itself as one of the leading
international forums to discuss RE in its (many) relations to
quality.

RefsQ 2010 seeks reports of novel ideas and techniques that enhance
the quality of software products and processes, as well as
reflections on current research and industrial RE practices.

In the past, RefsQ has been organised in conjunction with other
conferences, mainly the International Conference for Advanced
Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE). In 2010 RefsQ will be a
stand-alone conference for the first time, which provides the
opportunity for a broader range of activities such as workshops and
posters.

Researchers are invited to submit workshop proposals to be included
in the RefsQ 2010 Workshop Program. Workshops are intended to
facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences between
researchers and industry, and to stimulate discussions on new and
emerging issues in line with the conference topics. Workshops may
discuss novel and visionary ideas or may even be devoted to issues
such as applications, standardization and curriculum development.

Please submit your workshop proposal to the RefsQ Workshop Chair,
Andreas Gehlert (andreas.gehlert@sse.uni-due.de), no later than
Friday, January 29, 2010. Submissions should be made by e-mail
(Postscript, PDF, or ASCII) with "RefsQ Workshop Submission" in the
subject header. Each workshop proposal should include:

* Title of the workshop.
* Name, affiliation, address and e-mail address of the proposer(s).
* Provisional list of PC members.
* Length of the workshop (full or half day).
* A statement of the goals for the workshop.
* A brief description of the topic of the workshop plus a short
  description on how the workshop will be advertised to ensure a
  sufficiently wide range of authors and participants.
* A list of workshop topics.
* An outline of the paper submission and selection process.
* An explanation of any plans for publishing the workshop
  contributions.
* A brief CV of the proposer(s) including his/her/their experiences
  in organising workshops.
