RESACS 2016 - Second International Workshop on Requirements Engineering for Self-Adaptive and Cyber Physical Systems

Over the last ten years research on self‐adaptive systems (SAS) and recently research on cyber physical systems (CPS) have attracted the attention of the research community. These types represent novel categories of software‐intensive systems insofar that they possess significantly different properties than traditional information systems or embedded systems. For example, their highly connected and context‐aware nature gives rise to changes in their runtime behaviour, stressing the need for runtime adaptation and reorganization, which must be considered during the requirements phase. This poses new and unforeseen challenges for requirements engineering such that networked self‐adaptive systems can be systematically engineered.
Workshop Topics
The Second International Workshop on Requirements Engineering for Self-Adaptive and Cyber Physical Systems (RESACS) seeks original reports of novel ideas, emerging trends, and elaborations on the current state of practice and state of the art on any topic relevant for requirements engineering under special consideration of self-adaptiveness, collaboration and cyber physicality of systems.
Topics regarding RE for SAS and CPS include, but are not limited to:
Methods for Assessing the Requirements
Context Analysis and Domain Modeling
Collaboration and Trustworthiness in Collaboration
Specification and Quality Assurance
Strategic and Ad-hoc Reuse of Components and Systems
Design Space Exploration and Communication Strategies
Requirements Satisfaction Monitoring at Runtime
Runtime Adaptation, Decision Making and Runtime Uncertainty
Ad-hoc networking of cyber physical entities and services
Benefits and Application Areas
