SPECIAL ISSUE ON: Web and Requirements Engineering

 

IET Software's JCR Impact Factor increased by 20% to 0.620 in 2010.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In the last decade, the number and complexity of Web-based software systems
and the amount of information they offer has been continuously growing. In
the context of Software Engineering, design methods and methodologies were
introduced to provide mechanisms to develop these complex Web applications
and Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) in a systematic way. Most of these
methodologies focus on implementation and neglect other tasks such as
requirement analysis and quality management. Although the relevance of
Requirements Engineering is well known these techniques should be studied
more widely in the Web Engineering community due to the complexity of Web
Engineering problems (such as the changing nature of the stakeholders or the
diversity of Web-related requirements). On the other hand, Requirements
Engineering is a complex activity whose success depends on stakeholder
participation. Therefore, the techniques proposed in the Requirements
Engineering field need a more participative environment to support effective
collaboration among stakeholders. In this context, the Web (especially Web
2.0 applications), provide a convenient platform that supports active
participation by stakeholders in the Requirements Engineering process.

 

 

Topics of primary interest include, but are not limited to:

--------------------------------------------------------------

* Web requirements elicitation and analysis

* Web requirements validation and verification

* Web engineering methods and tools supporting requirements

* Traceability in Web requirements

* Modeling of requirements, goals, and domains in Web

* Prototyping and simulation in Web requirements

engineering

* Evolution of Web requirements

* Alignment between business and Web requirements

* Social, cultural, and cognitive factors in Web requirements engineering

* User-centred analysis and design

* Domain specific modelling languages addressing requirements for Web
applications

* Web 2.0 and requirements engineering

* Requirements engineering for rich internet applications

* Model-driven approaches based on requirements models for Web applications
and rich internet applications

 

All papers must be submitted through the journal’s Manuscript Central
system:

http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iet-SEN

 

There are two ways of submission: invitations to the authors of higher
quality papers accepted at the WeRE workshop

(http://gplsi.dlsi.ua.es/congresos/were10), and an open call for papers.
Submitted papers have to be formatted according to the IET Software
guidelines (http://www.ietdl.org/IET-SEN)

 

Proposed publication schedule:

-------------------------------

Deadline for submission of

papers: 28 February 2011

Authors to receive a 1st

decision by: 30 June 2011

Final notification of acceptance: 30 August 2011

On-line and print publication: Q4 2011 (subject to IET Schedule)
