Seventeen good or excellent quality papers were published and presented by researchers and practitioners from Europe, North America, North Africa and Asia. During two days, numerous discussions have emerged, and we observed knowledge transfer from theory to practice, from practice to theory, and between the various actors of the requirements engineering domain. We would like to repeat this excellent experience for year 2000 in a second edition of the Requirements Engineering Process Workshop. This has led to the area of requirements engineering. The prevalent view is that requirements emerge from a process of learning in which they are elicited, prioritised, negotiated, evaluated and documented.
Requirements evolve with time.
This necessitates managing requirement evolution and aligning requirements to organisational changes. The goal of the REP workshop is to improve our understanding of the RE process. This workshop is organised with the aim to bring together researchers and practitioners from various disciplines such as Databases, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Human Computer Interfaces, Systems Engineering, Business Process Reengineering, Quality Management and Method Engineering. The objective is to advance understanding about how techniques from these disciplines and others can improve and empower the requirements engineering process in organisations. It also aims at discussing the lessons learned from large scale RE projects and investigate approaches to keep track of good and bad REP experiences.
