=========================================================
                                        CALL FOR PAPERS
Requirements Engineering Track, 11th Edition
http://www.cin.ufpe.br/~sac18-re/

at the 33rd Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC-2018)
Pau, France
April 9-13, 2018

For over thirty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world.
The 11th Edition of the Requirements Engineering Track (RE-Track'18) is part of the 33rd ACM Symposium on Applied Computing. SAC 2018 is hosted  by Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour (UPPA), Bayonne, France.

The objective of this track is to explore different advances in Requirements Engineering in a general way, its relation with diferente areas, reducing the gap between software engineering solutions and the way one  specific domain of knowledge was seen up to given point.

IMPORTANT DATES
================
September 15, 2017: Submission of papers and SRC research abstracts (strict deadline)
November 10, 2017: Notification of paper and SRC acceptance/rejection
November 25, 2017: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers/SRC
December 10, 2017: Author registration due date

PAPER SUBMISSION
=================
Authors are invited to submit in all areas of Requirements Engineering. The program committee will blindly review submissions to that track. The
author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the
paper, and self-reference should be in third person. This is to facilitate blind review. Please find the template here: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template

Submissions should be printable on a standard printer on common paper formats, such as US letter and A4.

Papers should not be submitted to more than one ACM-SAC track. Paper submissions should be done electronically through the following websites:

(for regular papers) https://www.softconf.com/i/sac2018/
(for SRC papers) https://www.softconf.com/i/sac-src2018/

Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of registered papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library.

STUDENTS COMPETITION
======================
Active graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their research ideas are invited to submit abstracts of their original
unpublished and in-progress research work in areas of experimental
computing and application development related to SAC 2018 Tracks. Please
visit SAC 2018 website at https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2018/
