Initial methods and tools have been proposed, but we see the need for more tailored and holistic approaches for crowd-based RE. </div><div><br></div><div>The workshop on Crowd-Based Requirements Engineering (CrowdRE) aims at initiating, facilitating, and nurturing the discussion on this subject matter. Original submissions from research and practice in two main categories are welcome: </div><div>- Competition Papers describing a solution idea to a reference problem scenario (available at http://www.sse.uni-due.de/crowdre15);</div><div>- General submissions (Technical solution papers; Problem statements; Vision statements; and Experience report)</div><div><br></div><div>Important Dates</div><div><br></div><div>- Paper Submission: January 16th, 2015</div><div>- Notification: February 6th, 2015</div><div>- Camera-ready Due: February 20th, 2015</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>ORGANIZING COMMITTEE</div><div>- Sebastian Adam, Fraunhofer IESE (Germany)</div><div>- Norbert Seyff, University Zurich (Switzerland)</div><div>- Anna Perini, Fondazione Bruno Kessler (Italy)</div><div>- Xavier Franch, Univ.
