IEEE International Symposium on Requirements Engineering

RE '93

4-6th January 1993

Coronado Island, San Diego, California, USA.

Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society in cooperation with ACM SIGSOFT & SIGART

Scope

Requirements Engineering, is a topic of vital importance to software
engineering. This symposium will cover all aspects of software requirements
elicitation, specification and analysis. It aims to make a significant
contribution to the state-of-the art, to reflect the important work being
carried out in this area and to bring researchers and practitioners together.

Areas to be covered by the symposium include, but are not restricted to:

formal representation schemes and requirements specification languages;

descriptions of the requirements engineering process;

tools and environments to support requirements engineering;

requirements engineering methods;

requirements analysis and validation;

requirements elicitation, acquisition and formalisation;

establishing traceability to requirements;

requirements metrics;

reuse and adaptation of requirements;

animation and execution of requirements;

requirements through reverse engineering and re-engineering;

intersections with artificial intelligence, particularly domain modelling and
analysis;

intersections with computer-human-interaction and cognitive science;

intersections with group and cooperative work

intersections with systems engineering.

Attention will be paid to requirements engineering for distributed,
safety-critical, composite, real-time and embedded systems.

Format

The format of the symposium will include paper presentations, workshop and
panel sessions, reviews and keynote talks.

Submissions should be in one of the following forms:

technical papers describing new techniques, methods and the like, not
exceeding 5,000 words in length;

review papers giving a detailed account of significant progress in the area of
requirements engineering (for example: major projects & research initiatives;
large tool sets), not exceeding 10,000 words in length;

short papers covering case studies or stating a position, not exceeding 2000
words.

All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of the symposium to be
published by IEEE CS Press. Short papers will not be presented at the
symposium.

Submit 5 copies of papers to Anthony Finkelstein, Programme Chair, at the
address below.
