Software systems in today’s multi-faceted world are as diverse as
the people who use them. While some are built according to rigorous
government regulations, others must be delivered quickly to meet
time-to-market deadlines or must be responsive to changing business
needs. From a requirements engineering perspective, there is certainly
no “one-size-fits-all” solution.
RE’10 will explore techniques and methods for eliciting, analyzing,
specifying, and managing requirements across diverse development teams
where stakeholders often come from entirely different cultural,
linguistic, geographical, and educational backgrounds; and across a
broad spectrum of software projects that encompass both formal and
informal development techniques and represent both small and very
large scale projects.
RESEARCH TRACK
==============
RE’10 invites high-quality submissions in the following areas:
Technical solution papers – present solutions for requirements-related
problems that are novel or significantly improve on an existing
solution. A technical solution paper must include a preliminary
validation of the proposed solution.
Scientific evaluation papers – evaluate existing problem situations or
validate/refute proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e., by
empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal
analyses, mathematical proofs, etc. Scientific reflection on problems
and practices in industry also falls into this category.
Visionary papers – 10 years into the new century, we invite visionary
and contemplative papers that explore the history, successes, and
challenges of various requirements-related practices and research
agendas. These papers will be published in a separate section of the
proceedings.
Eligible topics include anything related to the elicitation, analysis,
specification, or verification of requirements. For a full list of
valid topics, please visit the RE’10 website: http://www.re10.org.
PRACTITIONER TRACK
==================
RE’10 will include a rich program to meet the needs of practitioners.
Some of the highlights include a track for business analyst and agile
requirements. RE’10 invites high-quality submissions in the following
categories:
Industry practice and experience papers – present challenges encountered
in practice, innovations in industrial practice, or success or failure
stories.
Extended abstracts – include a brief description of a requirements
related problem, a position statement based on a particular experience
with current practices and processes.
Tool demos – describes a new requirements-related tool to support
industrial process, techniques for selecting a good tool, or overview
of cutting edge tools.
OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS
===================
We also invite proposals for expert tutorials, workshops, panels,
doctoral symposium contributions, posters, videos, and research
demonstrations.
DO YOU NEED HELP?
=================
If you have never previously published at a major international
conference, then you may be eligible for our mentoring program.
Please check the www.re10.org website for further details.
ENJOY AUSTRALIAN HOSPITALITY
============================
The conference will be held at the University of Technology, Sydney
(UTS), located in the heart of an economic, multicultural and creative
global city with a range of hotel choices in the close vicinity. We have
a great venue planned for RE’10 with social activities that include a
dinner cruise on Sydney Harbor, and a reception at the famous opera house!
