O V E R V I E W
Requirements engineering (RE) is as integral to the assurance of
software quality now as it was when the first RefsQ took place in 1994.
Compared to 1994, our understanding of RE has improved, while newer and
better methods and tools are available to practitioners. At the same
time, however, new challenges have emerged. These include increased
economic pressures on developers and customers and the pace of change
caused by new technologies and new application domains. Meanwhile, many
old problems stubbornly resist attempts to solve them. We still make
poor trade-offs between incompatible requirements; we still struggle to
derive appropriate software architectures from requirements; and too
many ambitious development projects still end in recriminations instead
of useful software.
Against this background, RefsQ'07 seeks reports of innovative work in RE
that enhances the quality of software and systems, particularly where
challenged by new development paradigms or technologies. We encourage
researchers and practitioners from the RE, software engineering,
information systems, and embedded systems fields to present original
work. Contributions from cognate areas such as formal methods, systems
engineering, economics and management and social sciences are very
welcome for the insights they provide in RE.

I N S O F T W A R E E N G I N E E R I N G
We encourage submissions on any aspect of RE but we particularly welcome
submissions that address how RE is affected by or affects innovations
such as:
- Service-oriented computing
- Model-driven development
- Software product lines
- Aspect-oriented software development
- Adaptive and autonomic systems
- Situational and domain-specific RE
Case studies, experience reports and industrial problem statements are
particularly encouraged.
W O R K I N G C O N F E R E N C E F O R M A T
RefsQ has a long tradition of being a highly structured and interactive
forum and this remains as we make the transition to a working
conference. What has changed is that attendance of RefsQ is no longer
restricted to paper authors, although we will restrict numbers to
encourage the active participation of all attendees. The working
language is English.
S U B M I S S I O N S
Three types of papers are solicited:
- full papers (15 pages max, 12 recommended),
- position papers (6 pages max),
- industrial problem statements (6 pages max).
See http://www.refsq.org for details about format and evaluation
criteria.
Submission is handled electronically through the RefsQ web site.
P U B L I C A T I O N
The RefsQ'07 proceedings will be published by Springer as a special
volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
