<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center" align="center"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The Inaugural Asia Pacific
Requirements Engineering Symposium (APRES) will be held at the Auckland
University of Technology (AUT), Auckland, New Zealand.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Requirements Engineering is now a
well established discipline of research and practice in software and systems development.
The importance of developing and following effective RE practices has long been
recognised by researchers and practitioners alike. In the last 21 years the International
Requirements Engineering Conference (RE) has established an annual venue for
exchange of ideas and has supported the RE community worldwide. The main aim of
this symposium is to develop and expand the RE research and practice community specifically
in the Asia <a name="1431a510fb339d84__GoBack"></a>Pacific region and to foster collaborations
among researchers and practitioners in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. We
also welcome participants and presentations from other parts of the world.<span> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">We invite submissions on all
aspects of Requirements Engineering. In particular, those papers that present
novel ideas, methods, tools, and techniques for improving and enhancing RE
products and processes are welcome. We are also interested in reflections on
current industrial RE practices and also encourage researchers and
practitioners from fields other than RE such as Business Analysis, Software Engineering,
Information Systems, Systems Engineering, Service Sciences, Human Computer
Interaction, Social Sciences, and Management to submit papers.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Structure: </b>The

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">We invite original research and
industry paper submissions in all areas of RE including elicitation, modelling,
analysis, specification, validation and management. Following the categories of
<a href="http://www.re14.org" target="_blank">RE’14</a>, we accept Technical Solution papers
that describe and validate better solutions to requirements problems,
Scientific Evaluation papers that evaluate existing problem situations or
proposed solutions by scientific means and Vision papers that explore successes
and challenges of requirements practices, or present research roadmaps. Industry
submissions include application of RE techniques in real-world settings, problems
encountered in practice and reports on innovative approaches to RE practice in
industrial or government settings.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">We invite original submissions in
