The RE'05 conference will emphasize the crucial role that requirements play
in the successful development and delivery of systems, products, and
services. Including topics such as :
o Specification languages
o Formal analysis and verification
o Requirements for interoperating, multi-organizational systems
are in adequation with some research topics of this group.

Call for Papers
13th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference
August 29th – September 2nd, 2005 Paris, France
http://www.re05.org
*****************************************************************
"The hardest single part of building a software system is deciding
precisely what to build. No other part of the conceptual work is as
difficult as establishing the detailed technical requirements, including
all the interfaces to people, to machines, and to other software systems.
No other part of the work so cripples the resulting system if done wrong.
No other part is more difficult to rectify later". (F. Brooks, "No Silver
Bullet", IEEE Computer, 1987)
We invite submissions of papers, tutorials, workshops and panels.
High-quality requirements are at the heart of successful products, in that
a product is successful if it effectively satisfies some essential need.
Engineering successful products involves understanding the needs of users,
customers, and other stakeholders, as well as the contexts in which the
product will be used; specifying, modelling, and analyzing the
stakeholders’ requirements; and using these requirements to guide design
decisions, to define acceptance criteria for evaluating the final product,
and to constrain the product’s evolution. Requirements encompass more than
desired functionality users increasingly demand systems that are usable,
reliable, secure, and responsive, while product developers expect to be
able to adapt and evolve products rapidly, in response to users’ changing
needs. As such, requirements activities are multi-disciplinary, drawing on
research and experience in computer science, mathematics, engineering,
human-computer interaction, and social and cognitive sciences.
RE’05 will bring together researchers, practitioners, and students to
exchange problems, solutions, and experiences concerning requirements. The
conference will emphasize the crucial role that requirements play in the
successful development and delivery of systems, products, and services.
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
- Requirements elicitation and identification
- Informal modelling of requirements
- Domain modelling
- Formal modelling of goals and requirements
- Specification languages
- Formal analysis and verification
- Multiple viewpoints, managing inconsistency
- Nonfunctional and quality requirements
- Prioritization, negotiation, and resolution of conflicting requirements
- Prototyping, animation, simulation
- Requirements validation
- Requirements evolution over time, across product families; variability
requirements
- Requirements management, traceability, metrics
- Requirements methodologies (e.g., Agile methods)
- Social, cultural, and cognitive factors in requirements activities
- Aligning requirements to business goals and processes
- Relating requirements to system architecture, testing
- Requirements for COTS-based systems
- Requirements for interoperating, multi-organizational systems
- Domain-specific problems and solutions (e.g., high- assurance systems;
secure systems; socio-technical systems; telecommunications and distributed
systems; business and information systems)
***********************
Papers and Evaluation
***********************
To provide a forum for exchanging challenges and experiences, as well as
research results, we will run both researcher-oriented and
practitioner-oriented technical tracks. We invite submissions of
high-quality papers in the following categories:
- Technical research papers present original results from basic or applied
research, including at least preliminary evaluation of results. Technical
research papers will be reviewed for originality, soundness, and potential
utility of the research to the state-of-the-art. Papers must not exceed 10
pages.
- Research evaluation papers present case studies, empirical studies,
experiments, or analyses that evaluate scientifically the effectiveness and
applicability of requirements techniques. Evaluation papers will be
reviewed for quality and rigor of evaluation, and for significance and
generality of results. Papers must not exceed 10 pages.
- Reflection-on-practice papers introspectively evaluate industrial
experience with using requirements techniques. Reflection papers should
describe not only the requirements techniques employed, but also the
setting in which the techniques were used, the results obtained, the
lessons learned, and any conclusions that can be drawn. Reflection papers
will be reviewed for significance of the insights presented. Papers must
not exceed 10 pages.
- Industrial practice reports pose requirements problems or challenges
encountered in practice, relate success or failure stories, or report on
industrial practice. Industrial-practice reports must not exceed 5
pages. Authors who want to submit longer papers should consider submitting
a reflection paper.
Papers must not describe work that is submitted to or has been presented at
another forum. Accepted papers will appear in an IEEE-CS Press Conference
Proceedings. Revised versions of the best research papers may appear in
proposed special issues of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering or
Requirements Engineering Journal; revised versions of the best practice
papers may appear in a special issue of IEEE Software.
We seek also proposals for workshops, tutorials, panels, research tool
demos, and poster presentations.
***********************
Submission Information
***********************
Electronic submissions will be accepted at the RE'05 paper submission site.
Authors without web access must make advance arrangements with the Program
Chair at least one week before the deadline. To be considered for review, a
paper submission must be in the IEEE CS Press Proceedings format (see
www.computer.org/proceedings/cps_forms.htm) and must not exceed its
category’s page limit (see above). See the www.re05.org web site for
information on how to submit papers; workshop, panel, and tutorial
proposals; doctoral consortium papers; posters; and research-tool
demonstrations.
