17th International Working Conference on Requirements Engineering:
Foundation for Software Quality
REFSQ'11
March 28-30th, 2011, Essen, Germany
http://www.refsq.org
Since 1994, when the first REFSQ took place, Requirements Engineering
(RE) continued to be a dominant factor influencing the quality of
software, systems and services. The REFSQ working conference series
has now established itself as one of the leading international forums
to discuss RE in its many relations to quality. This year, REFSQ
consolidates as a stand-alone conference and, in addition, moves to
March, which means an important shift of the usual dates.
Working Conference Format
=========================
REFSQ has a long tradition of being a highly structured and interactive
forum. Each session is organised in order to provoke discussion among
the presenters of papers, pre-assigned discussants, and all the other
participants.
Scope
=====
REFSQ 2011 seeks reports of novel ideas and techniques that enhance
the quality of REs products and processes, as well as reflections on
current research and industrial RE practices. We invite submissions on
any aspect of RE. We encourage researchers and practitioners from the RE,
software engineering, information systems, service science, and embedded
systems fields to present original work. Contributions from related areas
such as formal methods, systems engineering, human computer interaction,
economics, management, and social sciences are very welcome for the
insights they provide to RE.
Call For Papers
===============
We invite original submissions in various categories:
* Full research papers (up to 15 pages), including solution papers,
empirical studies, surveys, and comparative studies
