=============================================================

4th IEEE International Workshop on Requirements Engineering For  
Services (REFS'10)
In conjunction with COMPSAC 2010
Seoul, Korea, July 19 - 23, 2010

==============================================================

Service orientation is emerging as a leading network computing  
paradigm and also a dominant form of economic activity and the basis  
for socio-economic organizations. The commonalities and synergies  
among service concepts across the levels of IT infrastructure and  
business and social organization will lead to powerful innovations and  
new developments.

Requirements engineering is recognized as a critical area in software  
and systems engineering. To continue the on-going discussions from the  
REFS 2007, 2008 and 2009, we expect to again gather active researchers  
and practitioners from all over the world to share their knowledge in  
intensive discussion to develop new ideas, new strategies and new  
collaborations on topics relevant to requirements for services, in  
particular, how to build trustworthy and smart software services that  
satisfy users' requirements on environment friendliness, security,  
trust, dependability, among others.

Example questions of interest include: what requirements engineering  
methods and techniques are suitable for a service-oriented  
environment? What adaptations, extensions or re-conceptualizations  
will be needed? How can requirements engineering contribute to a new  
discipline of services engineering, and management? Will service  
orientation lead to a rethinking of the field of requirements  
engineering? How to specify, model and evaluate the trustworthiness of  
services? How to make today's business and IT services smarter to  
adapt better to the requirements and surrounding environments?


Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following :

* Service requirements models and descriptions
* Service requirements identification, elicitation, and acquisition,  
communication, negotiation, and validation
* Service requirements analysis and design methods
* Service engineering and management processes
* Knowledge engineering and management for smart services
* Service ontologies, metrics, and benchmarks
* QoS modeling and evaluation frameworks
* Trust, delegation and negotiation models for services
* Security, privacy and safety for services
* RE techniques for business process redesign
* RE techniques for business modeling and value analysis
* RE techniques for services discovery and composition
* RE techniques for service quality
* Conceptual frameworks for RE and services
* RE techniques for aligning business services and computational services
* RE techniques for adaptation and agility in services
* RE techniques for socio-technical analysis and design of smart services
* RE and SSME techniques for lifecycle management
