Seventeen good or excellent quality papers were : published and presented by researchers and practitioners from Europe, : North America, North Africa and Asia. During two days, numerous : discussions have emerged, and we observed knowledge transfer from theory : to practice, from practice to theory, and between the various actors of : the requirements engineering domain. We would like to repeat this : excellent experience for year 2000 in a second edition of the : Requirements Engineering Process Workshop. <br> : <br> : <br> : <b>SCOPE of the WORKSHOP <br> : <br> : </b>Experience in developing systems has shown that an inadequate : understanding of system requirements is the most important cause of users : dissatisfaction and systems failure. This has led to the area of : requirements engineering. <br> : Requirements Engineering (RE) is the process of determining a complete, : correct and clear specification of a future software-intensive system : from the incomplete, inconsistent and ambiguous statements of need from : stakeholders as diverse as end-users, managers and domain experts. : Whereas conventional RE approaches focus on models and languages to : express system specifications, there has been a recent shift towards : Requirements Engineering Processes (REPs). The prevalent view is that : requirements emerge from a process of learning in which they are : elicited, prioritised, negotiated, evaluated and documented. Requirements : evolve with time. This necessitates managing requirement evolution and : aligning requirements to organisational changes. <br> : <br> : <b>TOPICS <br> : </b>The goal of the REP workshop is to improve our understanding of the : RE process. This workshop shall provide a forum for the presentation and : discussion of : <br> : <br> : · Innovative ideas : for REP <br> : · Best REP : practices <br> : · Industrial : problem statements <br> : · Evaluation and : comparison of approaches to REP<br> : <br> : This workshop is organised with the aim to bring together researchers and : practitioners from various disciplines such as Databases, Information : Systems, Software Engineering, Human Computer Interfaces, Systems : Engineering, Business Process Reengineering, Quality Management and : Method Engineering. The objective is to advance understanding about how : techniques from these disciplines and others can improve and empower the : requirements engineering process in organisations. It also aims at : discussing the lessons learned from large scale RE projects and : investigate approaches to keep track of good and bad REP experiences. : <br> : <br> : Topics include but are not restricted to : <br> : <br> : · Theories and : models for the REP <br> : · Best RE practice : capitalisation <br> : · Models for the : REP quality assurance and improvement <br> : · Environments for : the RE process enactment and monitoring <br> : · REP traceability : <br> : · Engineering : techniques for the REP <br> : · Co-operative and : iterative learning process <br> : · Documenting : requirements and the RE process <br> : · RE method : engineering and CAME environments <br> : · Requirement : management processes<br> : <br> : <b>PAPER SUBMISSION <br> : </b>Authors are invited to submit contributions representing original, : previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be evaluated based on : originality, significance, and relevance to the workshop. IEEE will : publish accepted papers in the DEXA workshops proceedings. <br> : Submissions (<b>max 5 pages</b>, approx. between 2000 and 3000 words) : should be written in English, preceded by a page indicating the name, : affiliation and complete address for each author including email contact, : and sent to: <br> : <b> : <dl> : <dd>REP@univ-paris1.fr </b> : <dd>(RTF, word 97, PS, or PDF)<br> : <br> : : </dl>The following signed statement: "<i>All appropriate : organisational approvals for the publication of this paper have been : obtained. If accepted, the author(s) will prepare the final manuscript in : time for inclusion in the workshop proceedings and will present the paper : at the workshop</i>" should be sent to the program committee before : the date of acceptance. <br> : <br> : The papers will be evaluated according to their originality, technical : quality, relevance to REP, and<br> : presentation. Accepted papers will have to be formatted according to IEEE : policies. <br> : <br> : <b>DEXA WORKSHOP RULES <br> : </b>Each workshop works autonomoulsy. However, the publishing and : registration processes are organised by the DEXA Workshops organization : committee (A.M. Tjoa, R.R. Wagner and Ala Zobaide). <br> : <br> : The publishing process will be performed by IEEE and the DEXA Workshops : organization committee. The camera ready papers must be sent : electronically by the beginning of May 2000. The instructions how to do : this and the exact format will be sent to all corresponding authors and : organisers by IEEE just in time. However, the IEEE formatting : instructions for last year's proceedings can be retrived in the REP'99 : web pages. <b>The camera ready papers are limited to 5 pages</b>, two : columns (i.e., <i>according the DEXA workshops organizers</i>, approx. : 5000 words; between 2000 and 3000 words in our experience). Each author : will be asked to sign a copyright form which will be sent to him/her by : IEEE. If the authors don't return the copyright form to IEEE, IEEE may : not<br> : publish the papers. <br> : <br> : Each participant, author and organiser of a DEXA workshop has to pay the : reduced DEXA registration fees (<b>ATS 5000</b>.-). If a DEXA workshop : author is a student, he has also to pay the reduced DEXA registration : fees and not the student fees. <br> : <br> : <b>IMPORTANT DATES <br> : <br> : </b> · : <b>Paper Submission : March 15th 2000</b> <br> : <br> : · : Notification of acceptance : April 10th 2000 <br> : <br> : · : Camera-Ready copy due : May 1st 2000<br> : <br> : <b>PROGRAM COMITTEE <br> : </b>Chair and co-chairs <br> : Camille Ben Achour, Université de Paris 1 - : Sorbonne, CRI, France <br> : Colette Rolland, Université de Paris 1 - : Sorbonne, CRI, Paris, France <br> : Neil Maiden, City University, Centre for HCI, : London, United Kingdom <br> : Naveen Prakash, DELHI India<br> : Committee members <br> : Frank Barbier, : Université de Nantes, France <br> : Daniel Berry, : University of Waterloo, Canada <br> : Sjaak Brinkkemper, : Baan Company, The Netherlands <br> : Anthony : Finkelstein, University College, London, United Kingdom <br> : Michel Léonard, : Université de Genève, Switzerland <br> : Peri Loucopoulos, : UMIST, United Kingdom <br> : Barbara Pernici, : Politecnico di Milano, Italy <br> : Anne Persson, : University of Skövde, Sweden <br> : Klaus Pohl, : University of Essen, Germany <br> : Bjorn Regnell, : Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden <br> : Carine Souveyet, : Université de Paris 1 - Sorbonne, France<br> : <br> : <b>CONTACT INFORMATION</b> <br> : Please send your contributions in electronic files (RTF, Word 97, PS, : RTF) to : : <dl> : <dd> REP@univ-paris1.fr<br> : <br> : <br> : <br> : : </dl> Dr Camille : Ben Achour, REP'2000 <br> : C.
