Getting requirements right is critical to the success of just about any software development project, and yet oftentimes challenging and in need of a large amount of knowledge and experience. "Patterns" have been used to capture knowledge of software development, concerning software architectures, component designs and programs, and more recently requirements engineering too. This workshop provides an open forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and experience, regarding pattern-based approaches to capturing, organizing, and reusing all aspects of requirements engineering-related knowledge, from both product and process perspectives.

Submissions of specific patterns of all requirements engineering-related knowledge are encouraged. Examples of such patterns include, but not limited to, patterns of requirements modeling, requirements engineering process/activities, application/domain-specific or application/domain-independent requirements, FRs/NFRs/goals/social aspects, and the transitioning from requirements to architectures/designs. This workshop also welcomes technical papers, including full and position research papers, experience reports, empirical and case studies that report findings on requirements pattern-related topics, including, but not limited to, capturing, harvesting, mining, cataloging, organizing, searching, reusing and applying patterns, quality of patterns, pattern management and tool support.
