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 five categories:

- Full research papers (up to 15 pages), including solution papers, 
empirical studies, surveys, and comparative studies

- Industrial experience reports (up to 15 pages), describing positive 
and negative experiences in industrial settings

- 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


Publications

The REFSQ 2013 proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS series.


Other Events

REFSQ 2013 also calls for submissions for:

- One or 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
