UsARE 2017 -
3rd International Workshop on Usability and Accessibility
focused Requirements Engineering
(http://hciv.de/usare17/)
September 04, 2017, Lisbon, Portugal
In conjunction with the 25th IEEE International
Requirements Engineering Conference (RE 2017)
====================================================================================
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 sufficiently consider usability
and accessibility requirements. This high risk practice
can lead to project and software failure. Conversely, when
poorly done, improving the usability and accessibility
requirements during development can be very costly, time
consuming, and even ineffective. Targeting these concerns,
the workshop addresses the integration of system usability
and accessibility requirements into the requirements
engineering process, including processes for managing and
controlling the evaluation of these requirements in a
systematic way.
TOPICS
-------
The UsARE 2017 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 requirement engineering.
The UsARE 2017 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
(IEE 2016 formatting instructions:
http://re2017.org/pages/faq/formatting_instructions/).
Submissions must be in PDF format and submitted
electronically via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=usare2017).
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 2017
Proceedings published by IEEE and will be available online
in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
Note: At least one of the authors of each accepted paper
is required to register for the workshop.
