CALL FOR PAPERS
Fifth IEEE International Symposium on Requirements Engineering (RE01)
27th-31st August 2001, Royal York Hotel, Toronto, Canada
http://www.re01.org/
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
In cooperation with: ACM SIGSOFT, IEEE TFRE, IFIP WG 2.9, and INCOSE
Patrons: NASA, CITO, IBM, Mitel, Springer, BCS RESG, KMDI,
GI Fachgruppe 2.1.6 - RE, and University of
Toronto
OVERVIEW:
Requirements Engineering (RE) lies at the heart of software development.
RE
is concerned with identifying the purpose of a software system, and the
contexts in which it will be used. Hence, RE acts as the bridge between
the
real world needs of users, customers, and other constituencies affected by
a software system, and the capabilities and opportunities afforded by
software-intensive technologies.
RE'01 is the fifth in a biennial series of international symposia on
Requirements Engineering. The symposium will provide an opportunity for
researchers and practitioners to share ideas and experiences, while
enjoying the hospitality of the oldest and grandest hotel in Toronto. The
symposium will include a technical paper track, with refereed papers
describing novel research, experience reports, and surveys. The program
also includes keynote speakers, panel sessions, state-of-the-art
tutorials,
and an exhibition, which includes companies with RE tools and services,
book publishers, and other related exhibitors. We also have a series of
demos of research tools, and a doctoral workshop for PhD students.
Invited keynote speakers will include:
Dr. Pamela Zave, Technology Advisor, AT&T Laboratories, USA
"Requirements for Evolving Systems: A telecommunications perspective"
Professor Gene Spafford, Director, CERIAS, Purdue University, USA
"Requirements Engineering for Information Security and Assurance"
Dr. Mike Lowry, Principal Investigator, Automated Software
Engineering, NASA, USA
"The Role of Validation and Verification in Requirements Engineering"
Mini-tutorial speakers will include:
Professor John Mylopoulos, University of Toronto, Canada
"Conceptual Modelling in Requirements Engineering"
Professor Axel van Lamsweerde, Universit Catholique de Louvain,
Belgium
"Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering"
If you are working in the area of RE, or are just interested in finding
out
more about the field, we would like to welcome you to join us in Toronto
in
August 2001.

CALL FOR PAPERS
RE01 will provide an opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and
students to exchange problems, solutions, and experiences in RE. It will
emphasize the crucial role that RE plays in the development and delivery
of
systems, products, and services that permeate all aspects of life and
increasingly serve users across national, cultural and professional
boundaries. In addition to wanting systems to deliver required functions,
users increasingly demand systems that are usable, reliable, secure and
responsive. In a rapidly changing world, users and product managers expect
today's products to be adaptable to their future technical and social
environments.
RE01 invites submissions of high quality papers describing novel research,
experience, and state-of-the-art surveys in RE. Proposals for tutorials,
tool demos and poster presentations are also welcome. Topics of interest
include, but are not restricted to:
* Requirements elicitation through interview, observation,
reverse engineering and re-engineering
* Requirements modelling, analysis and re-use, including domain modelling
* Handling non-functional and quality requirements
* Formal representation schemes and specification languages,
and formal analysis techniques
* Multiple viewpoints, conflict resolution, and inconsistency management
* Prototyping, and animation and execution of requirements
* Requirements management, traceability and metrics
* Evolution of requirements over time and across product families
* RE standards, processes, methods and environments
* RE case studies and experiences
* RE and information systems development
* Interaction of RE with software architecture, design,
verification & validation, and software maintenance
* Analysis of safety, reliability and other high assurance requirements
* Cognitive, social, political and cultural factors in RE
* Human-computer interaction, groupware, and CSCW aspects of RE
* Artificial intelligence techniques for RE
* RE education
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Electronic submissions will be accepted at the symposium website up to one
month before the deadline. Authors without web access must make advance
arrangements with the Programme Chair at least one week before the
deadline. Papers must not exceed 8 pages in length, and must be in IEEE CS
Press format (see http://www.re01.org/submission.html). Accepted papers
must be accompanied by a signed IEEE copyright release form. See the
symposium website for information on how to submit panel and tutorial
proposals, doctoral workshop papers, posters and research demos (or
contact
the track chairs directly). For any other queries, please contact

EVALUATION
Paper submissions will be reviewed by the PC for originality,
significance,
soundness, and quality of presentation. Research papers must clearly
present an original contribution to the state-of-the-art or practice.
Experience papers must clearly present lessons learned that would be of
interest and benefit to a broad audience of researchers and practitioners.
Papers must describe work that has not been submitted to or presented at
another forum. Revised versions of a selection of best papers from the
symposium will appear in a special issue of the Requirements Engineering
Journal, and authors of those papers will be offered a free one-year
individual subscription to the journal.
