Call for Participation and Contributions
16th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE'08)
September 8th - 12th, Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain

REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING FOR A SUSTAINABLE WORLD
=====================================================================================
Sustainability of the earth and its natural resources represents a crucial
issue that must be addressed in this technology-centric century. Although
information services are generally not physical in nature and therefore do
not directly result in the emission of greenhouse gasses or destruction of
other natural resources, software does play a vital role in controlling
machines and buildings that have a direct impact on the environment. When
the target domain of software to be developed has a potential impact on
the global environment, complex factors should be taken into consideration
during the analysis and definition of requirements. This is a new
challenge facing Requirements Engineering.
High quality requirements that are apparently unrelated to environmental
issues are also crucial in our modern information-intensive society. Only
by fully understanding stakeholders' needs, and documenting them in a
concise, and unambiguous way, can we consistently deliver quality products
designed to meet the complexities of our advanced information society.
Failure to engineer high quality requirements or failure to develop
products that satisfy these requirements will ultimately lead to an
information society that naively prioritizes its short-term needs over
issues of long-term global sustainability.
The IEEE International Requirements Engineering conference provides the
premier international forum for researchers, educators and industrial
practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends,
experiences and concerns in the field of requirements engineering.
