ABOUT MoDRE

The 8th International Model-Driven Requirements Engineering (MoDRE) workshop
continues to provide a forum to discuss the challenges of Model-Driven
Development (MDD) for Requirements Engineering (RE). Building on the
interest
of MDD for design and implementation, RE may benefit from MDD techniques
when
properly balancing flexibility for capturing varied user needs with formal
rigidity required for model transformations as well as high-level
abstraction
with information richness. MoDRE seeks to explore those areas of
requirements
engineering that have not yet been formalized sufficiently to be
incorporated
into a model-driven development environment as well as how requirements
engineering models may benefit from emerging topics in the model-driven
community, such as flexible modeling or collaborative modeling. This
workshop
intends to identify new challenges, discuss on-going work and potential
solutions, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of MDD approaches for RE,
foster stimulating discussions on the topic, and provide opportunities to
apply MDD approaches for RE.

TOPICS

Submissions are welcome in all workshop topics including (but not limited
to)
the following:

* Modeling languages and metamodels for requirements engineering approaches.
* Modeling languages and metamodels for supporting separation of concerns in
  requirements models.
* Modeling languages and metamodels for non-functional requirements.
* Modeling languages and metamodels for requirements engineering for
specific
  domains, such as cyber-physical systems or Big Data applications.
* Synchronicity and consistency of different requirements models and views.
* Requirements models at runtime.
* Automatic analysis of requirements models.
* Automatic generation of tools for requirements engineering using MDD.
* Traceability and correctness of model transformations involving
requirements
  models.
* Empirical studies on model-driven requirements engineering.
* Simulation of requirements models. Flexible and collaborative modeling in
  requirements engineering.
* Requirements models for simplicity and complementarity.

Moreover, industry papers covering topics such as the following are highly
welcome:

* Industry problems and practices about model-driven requirements
engineering.
* Success stories about adopting model-driven requirements engineering in
  industry.
* Industrial empirical studies on model-driven requirements engineering.

SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS PUBLICATION

Participants are invited to submit four kinds of papers:

(1) Full research papers with a length of eight (8) to ten (10) pages,
    reporting on findings for problems related to model-driven requirements
    engineering that are novel and improve on or analyze existing solutions.
(2) Short research papers with a length of four (4) to five (5) pages,
    reporting on initial work that may not yet have been fully developed.
(3) Position papers with a length of four (4) to five (5) pages, reporting
on
    ideas and visions for the future of model-driven requirements
engineering.
(4) Industry Papers, with a length of four (4) to ten (10) pages, describing
    experiences related to the adoption of model-driven requirements
    engineering practices in the industry or highlighting future challenges.

Accepted papers will become part of the workshop proceedings and will be
submitted for inclusion into the IEEE Digital Library.
