IWSPM 2010 4th International Workshop on Software Product Management

Samuel Fricker University of Zurich & Fuchs-Informatik AG, Switzerland
Aybuke Aurum University of New South Wales, Australia

Product success depends on skilled and competent product management.
In essence, a product manager decides what functionality and quality a
product  should offer, to which customers, and when in time, while
assuring a winning business case. Software product management is
particularly important when  the product is envisioned, developed, and
deployed in a global environment. Geographical distance and cultural
differences need to be addressed when  collaborating along the
requirements value chain and robust and effective integration achieved
when composing products along the supply chain.

After the success of the previous workshops (collocated with the
recent RE conferences), IWSPM'10 aims at bringing practitioners and
research experts  together for exchanging ideas, knowledge, and
experience, and for setting a research agenda based on industry needs.

MaRK'10 Third International Workshop on Managing Requirements Knowledge

Walid Maalej Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Germany
Anil Kumar Thurimella Harman Becker Automotive Systems, Germany
Alexander Felfernig TU Graz, Austria

MaRK'10 focuses on potentials and benefits of lightweight knowledge
management approaches, such as ontologies, semantic Wikis, recommender
systems and  rationale management techniques, applied to requirements
engineering. Novel ideas, emerging methodologies, frameworks and tools
as well as industrial  experiences for capturing, representing,
sharing and reusing tacit knowledge in requirements engineering
processes are discussed. Furthermore, the  workshop will provide an
interactive exchange platform between the knowledge management
community, requirements engineering community and industrial
practitioners.

MERE'10 Fourth International Workshop on Multimedia and Enjoyable
Requirements Engineering
Beyond Mere Descriptions and with More Fun and Games

Oliver Creighton Siemens Corporate Technology, Germany
David Callele University of Saskatchewan, Canada
Olly Gotel Independent Researcher, USA

This workshop will provide a collaborative session in which lateral
thinking about requirements engineering is facilitated and some
suspension of  disbelief is expected. The intention is to explore the
value of enjoyment and the role of varying media forms as a way to
seed high-quality efforts and  results in requirements engineering. It
is driven by a passion of the workshop chairs to make requirements
engineering more 'fun' and engaging for all  stakeholders. To
complement the perspective of the previous workshops, this year the
workshop also aims to investigate the special requirements
engineering needs of media-rich systems (like video games, mobile
applications and social media). The workshop will be used to identify
future work,  issues, problems and priorities, and to propose
recommendations around these dimensions for future requirements
research.

SOCCER'2010 Service-Oriented Computing: Consequences for Engineering
Requirements

Luciano Baresi Politecnico di Milano, Italy
Xavier Franch Universitat PolitÃ¨cnica de Catalunya, Spain
Neil Maiden City University London, UK

The objective of the SOCCER'2010 workshop is to host significant and
high-quality contributions in all topics related to requirements
engineering for  service-oriented software, with the goal of letting
participants gain insights into the current state of the art and
future challenges, create  synergies through integration, and foster
cross-cooperation. As well as continuing to build a community of
researchers interested in requirements  engineering and
service-oriented software, the workshop will continue the development
of a research agenda to guide and support researchers in the  relevant
fields. The workshop welcomes both full papers of approximately 5,000
words and position papers of approximately 2,000 words.

REET'10 Fifth International Workshop on Requirements Engineering
Education and Training

Joy Beatty Seilevel, Inc.
Ljerka Beus-Dukicy University of Westminster

Requirement Engineering Education & Training 2010 (REET'10) will
address issues related to RE education, both as part of a formal
university degree and  as ongoing skills training within the
workplace. The workshop is intended to go much deeper than a surface
discussion of curriculum issues and will  examine specific ideas and
techniques for teaching and assessing skills needed by an effective
requirements engineer. The format of the workshop will  include full
papers, position papers, and pedagogical papers and activities that
can be demonstrated during the workshop. The intent is to involve
workshop attendees in performing the activities as well as interactive
discussions about the topic.

Workshop topics may include curriculum development and creative
contributions related to pedagogical techniques for teaching RE skills
and could take  the form of experience reports or demonstrations of
specific teaching techniques and training materials.

RELAW'10 Third International Workshop on Requirements Engineering and Law

Annie Anton North Carolina State University, United States
Travis Breaux Institute for Defense Analyses, United States
Eric Dubois Henri Tudor Research Institute, Luxembourg
Dimitris Karagiannis University of Vienna, Austria

RELAW'10 is a multi-disciplinary, one-day workshop that will bring
together practitioners and researchers from government, industry and
academia to  investigate challenges to ensuring that software systems
comply with relevant laws and policies. The workshop will probe
important issues, including  the frameworks and processes for
identifying relevant laws and jurisdictions, aligning laws, policies
and business processes with system requirements,  managing
requirements and changes in the law and demonstrating how systems
comply with relevant laws and policies through evidence-based
mechanisms  such as documentation, testing and certification.

REV'10 Fifth International Workshop on Requirements Engineering Visualization

Brian Berenbach Siemens Corporate Research, USA
Olly Gotel Independent Scholar, USA

The workshop aims to provide a collaborative session in which ideas
related to the uses of visualization in requirements engineering are
shared,  reviewed and debated. The controversy surrounding the
practicality of non-traditional requirements engineering techniques
will be discussed. The  workshop will be used to identify future work,
issues, problems and priorities, and to propose recommendations around
these dimensions for requirements  engineering visualization research.
While papers are invited on any topic related to visualization
techniques as applied to requirements engineering,  this year we would
like to focus on systems and infrastructure. We would especially
encourage researchers and practitioners to submit papers on the use
of RE visualization techniques for systems and infrastructure (e.g.
"shovel ready") projects.

WeRE'10 First International Workshop on the Web and Requirements Engineering

Irene Garrigos University of Alicante, Spain
Jose-Norberto Mazon University of Alicante, Spain
Nora Koch University of Munich, Germany
Maria Jose Escalona University of Seville, Spain
John Mylopoulos University of Trento, Italy

The International Workshop on the Web and Requirements Engineering
(WeRE'10) intends to be an international forum for exchanging ideas on
both using  Web technologies as a platform in the requirements
engineering field, and applying requirements engineering in the
development and use of websites.  Papers focused on new domains and
new experiences with the connection between requirements engineering
and the Web are also highly encouraged. The  workshop will be a forum
for researchers, designers, and users who are related to the
combination of these two main topics.

Requirements at run.time First International Workshop Requirements at run.time

Nelly Bencomo (main contact) Lancaster University, UK
Dan Berry University of Waterloo, Canada
Anthony Finkelstein UCL, UK
Pete Sawyer Lancaster University, UK
Jon Whitle Lancaster University, UK

Requirements at run.time will explore a radical challenge to the
traditional view of requirements models as static, slowly-evolving and
purely design-time  entities. requirements at 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 at 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.
