<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">The RESA workshop will look at the research
issues related to software systems that are aware and even reason about their
requirements and goals at runtime. Such capabilities would bring benefits
not just for the case of self-adaptive and autonomous systems but would also
help in the development of self-explaining systems, and in testing and
debugging. In particular, the workshop aims to: </span></p>
<p class="" style></p><ul><li><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Combine research ideas from requirements engineering, requirements
monitoring, computational reflection, model-driven engineering, and
self-adaptive, autonomic, and self-aware systems. </span></li><li><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Provide a "state-of-the-research" assessment expressed in terms
of research issues, challenges, and achievements. This assessment can be used
to guide research in the area for both academia and industry. </span></li><li><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Build a network of researchers in RE for Self-adaptive Systems. </span></li><li><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Plan and promote further events on this emerging area. </span></li>
</ul>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">RESA'14 will be held in Essen, Germany, as
one of the workshops of the 20th International Working Conference on Requirements
