First Call for Papers:

R E F S Q ' 1 3 - Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality
April 8-11 2013, Essen, Germany

Special Theme: Interdisciplinary RE

Abstract Submission: 5th November 2012
Paper Submission: 12th November 2012

Requirements Engineering (RE) is a dominant factor that influences the
quality of software, systems and services. The REFSQ working conference
series is well established as one of the leading international forums
for discussing RE and its many relations to quality. The first REFSQ
took place in 1994, and since 2010 REFSQ has been organised as a
stand-alone conference. In April 2013, we again welcome participants to
attend REFSQ'13, which will be held in Essen, Germany.


Working Conference Format

REFSQ has a long tradition of being a highly structured and interactive
forum. Each session is organised in order to provoke discussion among
the presenters of papers, pre-assigned discussants, and all the other
participants.


Scope

REFSQ 2013 seeks reports of novel ideas and techniques that enhance the
quality of RE’s products and processes, as well as reflections on
current research and industrial RE practices. We invite submissions on
any aspect of RE. We encourage researchers and practitioners from the
RE, software engineering, information systems, service science, and
embedded systems fields to present original work. We have chosen
“Interdisciplinary RE” as the special theme for REFSQ'13. In addition to
general papers on RE and quality, we therefore encourage submissions
that highlight the interplay of RE with related disciplines such as
software architecture, quality assurance, user interface design, project
management, and agile software development. Contributions from further
related areas such as systems engineering, economics, and management are
also very welcome for the insights they provide to RE.


Call for Papers

We invite original submissions in various categories:
- Full research papers (up to 15 pages), including solution papers,
empirical studies, surveys, and comparative studies
- Experience reports (up to 15 pages), describing positive and negative
experiences
- Vision papers (up to 6 pages) stating where the research in the field
should be heading towards
- Problem statements (up to 6 pages) describing open issues of practical
or theoretical nature
- Research previews (up to 6 pages) reporting research results at an
early stage

Papers must be submitted through Easychair at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=refsq13


Other Events

REFSQ 2013 also calls for submissions for:
- Half-day workshops focussing on topics related to REFSQ
- A doctoral symposium in which PhD students present their RE-related
research
- Empirical studies to be run during REFSQ and in collaboration with
companies
