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�09 seeks reports of novel ideas and techniques that enhance the quality of RE�s 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). For the first time, REFSQ will in 2010 be a stand-alone conference.

WORKING CONFERENCE FORMAT

RefsQ has a long tradition of being a highly structured and interactive forum. Each session is organised in order to provoke discussion among the presenters of papers, pre-assigned discussants and all the other participants. Scope

We invite submissions on any aspect of RE. We encourage researchers and practitioners from the RE, software engineering, information systems, service science and embedded systems fields to present original work. Contributions from related areas such as formal methods, systems engineering, human computer interaction, economics, management and social sciences are very welcome for the insights they provide in RE.

CALL FOR PAPERS We invite original submissions in various categories: � Full research papers (up to 15 pages), including solution papers, empirical studies, surveys, and comparative studies, � Experience reports (up to 15 pages), describing positive and negative experiences, � Vision papers (up to 6 pages) stating where the research in the fi eld should be heading towards, � Problem statements (up to 6 pages) describing open issues of pratical or theorectical nature, � Research previews (up to 6 pages) reporting on research results at a premature stage. � Posters (1 page) describing ongoing work. N.B. Posters will be published in the proceedings.

See http://www.refsq.org for detailed instructions to authors about format, evaluation criteria and submission procedure.

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS This year we invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference, related to the RefsQ topics. Contact the workshop chair for more information about submission of proposals.

PUBLICATION The proceedings will be published in Springer�s Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
