UsARE 2016 -
IEEE/ACM 3rd International Workshop on Usability and
Accessibility focused Requirements Engineering
(http://hciv.de/usare16/)
May 15, 2016, Austin, TX, USA
In conjunction with the 38th ACM/IEEE International
Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2016)
====================================================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
----------------
Usability and accessibility issues are common causes for
software failing to meet user requirements. However,
requirements engineers often focus on functional
requirements and may not fully elicit usability and
accessibility requirements. This high risk practice can
lead to project and software failure and it is well known
that improving the usability and accessibility
requirements during development is relatively costly and
time consuming. Targeting these concerns, the workshop
addresses the integration of system usability and
accessibility requirements into the requirements
engineering process and processes for managing and
controlling the evaluation of these requirements in a
systematic way.
The UsARE 2016 focuses on usability and accessibility
requirements for IoT (Internet of Things) including mobile
and wearable computing.
TOPICS
-------
The UsARE 2016 workshop is dedicated to observations,
concepts, approaches, frameworks and practices that
promote understanding, facilitating, and increasing the
awareness of the role of system usability and
accessibility requirements and their proper integration
into the requirement engineering process.
The UsARE 2016 workshop strongly encourages submissions
that focus on usability and accessibility requirements for
IOT (Internet of Things) including mobile and wearable
computing, but submissions on other relevant topics are
also welcome.
Topics of interest for paper submissions include, but are
not limited to methodologies, frameworks, concepts, and
tool support for:
- User-centered requirements engineering
* Elicitation, representation, and negotiation of
usability and accessibility requirements
* Evaluation of usability and accessibility requirements
- Impacts of RE and usability/accessibility considerations
on software design and development processes and products
- Usability and accessibility requirements management
- RE at run-time for usable and accessible, adaptable and
adaptive systems
- Usability and accessibility requirements for mobile and
distributed apps and services
SUBMISSIONS
------------
Papers are solicited in the following categories:
- Research papers (technical solutions and empirical
studies)
- Practice papers (experience reports and problem
statements)
- Tool demonstration papers
- Case studies and best practices
Full papers (up to 7 pages) including references and
short/position/vision papers (up to 4 pages) including
references are accepted.
Submissions must be written in English and conform to the
(ICSE 2016 formatting and submission instructions:
http://2016.icse.cs.txstate.edu/formatInstr). Submissions
must be in PDF format and submitted electronically via
EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=usare2016).
All papers submitted to the workshop must be unpublished
original work and must not have been submitted elsewhere
for publication. The selection of papers will be based on
workshop relevance, academic rigor, innovation, industrial
applicability, quality of writing and for their ability to
trigger discussions.
Accepted papers will be included in the UsARE 2016
Proceedings published by IEEE and ACM and will be
available online in the IEEE xplore Digital Library and
ACM Digital Library.
*** The official publication date of the workshop
proceedings is the date the proceedings are made available
in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two
weeks prior to the first day of ICSE 2016. The official
publication date affects the deadline for any patent
filings related to published work.
