=====================================================================================

Sustainability of the earth and its natural resources represents a crucial issue that must be addressed in this technology-centric century. Although information services are generally not physical in nature and therefore do not directly result in the emission of greenhouse gasses or destruction of other natural resources, software does play a vital role in controlling machines and buildings that have a direct impact on the environment. When the target domain of software to be developed has a potential impact on the global environment, complex factors should be taken into consideration during the analysis and definition of requirements. This is a new challenge facing Requirements Engineering.

High quality requirements that are apparently unrelated to environmental issues are also crucial in our modern information-intensive society. Only by fully understanding stakeholders' needs, and documenting them in a concise, and unambiguous way, can we consistently deliver quality products designed to meet the complexities of our advanced information society. Failure to engineer high quality requirements or failure to develop products that satisfy these requirements will ultimately lead to an information society that naively prioritizes its short-term needs over issues of long-term global sustainability.

The IEEE International Requirements Engineering conference provides the premier international forum for researchers, educators and industrial practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and concerns in the field of requirements engineering.
