RE 2013 - IEEE International Conference on Requirements Engineering

In 2013, the IEEE International Requirements Engineering (RE) conference will be held for the 21st time. To mark this coming of age, we seek to investigate whether the field has made its transition from adolescence into adulthood, and we hope to guide its onward journey. The special theme for RE’13 is RE-AT-21: Keeping Requirements on Track.
Requirements engineering (RE) encompasses all the interdisciplinary activities involved in determining, documenting, and maintaining an agreed set of requirements for a system, and for tracing these through to implementation. A specific concern is the development of practical techniques, methods, and tools to support these activities. RE’13 invites submissions that address any facet of the requirements engineering process, from elicitation to validation, from formal to informal, from large to small, from traditional to agile, and across people-centric, business-centric, and system-centric viewpoints.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Requirements engineering process definition, measurement, and improvement
Stakeholder identification, engagement, and management
Requirements elicitation, analysis, documentation, validation, and verification
Requirements negotiation, prioritization, and domain ontology construction
Requirements specification languages and model-driven approaches
Modeling of requirements, goals, and wider system concerns
Requirements management and traceability
Evolution of requirements over time, product families, and variability
Requirements across the entire system lifecycle
Domain-specific problems, experiences, and solutions
Requirements in market-driven, service-oriented, and product line environments
Requirements for highly complex systems on a global scale
Requirements for large-scale procurement contracts
Social, cultural, global, personal, and cognitive factors in requirements engineering
Industry and research collaboration, learning from practice, and technology transfer
Requirements engineering education and training
Tool support for requirements engineering
