<p class=MsoPlainText>1st International Workshop on requirements©run.time in
conjunction with Requirements Engineering Conference RE 2010 Sydney,
Australia, September 27th - October 1st 2010<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>------ Call for Papers ------<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Motivation<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>requirements©run.time will explore a radical challenge to
the traditional view of requirements models as static, slowly-evolving and
purely design-time entities. requirements©run.time will explore the potential
for run-time abstractions and models of requirements as a practical means to
address the challenges posed by volatile or poorly-understood environmental
contexts. These include (e.g.) business environments that are subject to
dramatic and unforeseen economic conditions, or physical environments that may
be remote and hostile to humans and computers. For such systems, detailed
a-priori domain understanding is not achievable at design-time. This inevitably
acts against the formulation of stable requirements. Rather, the requirements
will need to be revised and reappraised over periods too short to be achieved
by off-line adaptive maintenance. To achieve this, systems will need to
maintain requirements models that are dynamic, run-time entities that support
reasoning, some times with the aid of human, and sometimes not, so that the
systems can respond in appropriate ways to changes in their environments.
requirements©run.time takes its cue from important recent work in a number of
areas, including requirements monitoring, computational reflection,
self-adaptive systems and multi-objective reasoning.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Objectives<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The workshop aims to:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>- Provide a "state-of-the-research"
assessment expressed in terms of research issues, challenges, and achievements.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>- Combine research ideas from requirements
engineering, requirements monitoring, computational reflection, model-driven
engineering, and autonomic, self-healing systems and self-explaining systems. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>- Devise a research agenda for the achievement of
requirements-aware systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>- Simulate the creation of a network of researchers
in the area.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>- Plan and promote further events on the topic.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>We seek high-quality paper submissions on the following
topics and on any topic with a strong relation to run-time requirements models:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* Representation of runtime requirements<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* Computational reflection and requirements<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* Requirements monitoring<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* Reasoning over requirements models at runtime<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* Traceability of runtime requirements<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* Relationship of runtime requirements to other SE
phases (architecture/design/testing)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* Application areas (e.g., Self Adaptive Systems)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* Methodologies incorporating runtime requirements<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* Diagnosis of failed requirements<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Workshop format<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>requirements©run.time will be a one-day workshop and will
be discussion-oriented to promote interaction and exchange of ideas. The first
part of the workshop will be for papers selected for their quality and
potential for stimulating discussion. From these, we will synthesize a set of
research challenges to set the agenda for discussion in the afternoon breakout
sessions. The breakout and final plenary sessions will aim to identify a
forward research agenda to tackle the challenges. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>We invite two categories of papers:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>- Full papers (8-10 pages)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>- Position papers (4-8 pages)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Papers submitted should follow the two-column IEEE format
(as in the main Conference RE). Each paper will be reviewed by at least three
(3) reviewers, and authors will be notified of acceptance by 23th July (before
the RE 2010 early registration deadline). We will also welcome non-presenting
participants, although the number of attendees will be limited by the room
capacity.<o:p></o:p></p>
