REFSQ 2015 - 21st International Working Conference on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality

REFSQ has a long tradition of being a highly structured and interactive forum. Each session is organised to provoke discussion among the presenters of papers, pre-assigned discussants, and all the other participants.
For detailed information on the conference format please have a look at the Event Format section of this web-site.
Scope
REFSQ 2015 seeks reports of novel ideas and techniques that enhance the quality of RE’s products and processes, as well as reflections on current research and industrial RE practices. We invite submissions on any aspect of RE. We encourage researchers and practitioners from the RE, software engineering, information systems, service science, embedded systems, and product management fields to present original work. “I heard it first at REFSQ” has been chosen as the special theme. REFSQ’15 is interested in the future of RE, thus in really new views on RE that will be debated in the many interactive formats of REFSQ’15. The results will help to mature the proposed RE innovations and thus lay the ground for future research and practice improvement. In addition to general papers on RE and quality, we therefore encourage submissions that highlight the utilization of RE for solving our society’s great problems, such as the aging society and the expected scarcity of energy, and for utilizing emerging technologies such as smart networks, novel Internet architectures, and the wide availability of sensors and data sources. Contributions from further related areas such as systems engineering, economics, and management are also very welcome for the insights they provide to RE.
Call for Conference Papers
We invite original submissions in various categories:
Full research papers (up to 15 pages), including literature reviews, evaluation research, solution proposals, and validation research.
Experience reports (up to 15 pages) describing positive and negative experiences.
Vision papers (up to 6 pages) stating where the research in the field should be heading towards.
