Since 1994, when the first REFSQ took place, Requirements Engineering
(RE) continued to be a dominant factor influencing the quality of
software, systems and services. The REFSQ working conference series has
now established itself as one of the leading international forums to
discuss RE in its many relations to quality. This year, REFSQ
consolidates as a stand-alone conference and, in addition, moves to
March, which means an important shift of the usual dates.

 

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 2011 seeks reports of novel ideas and techniques that enhance the
quality of REs 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. Contributions from
related areas such as formal methods, systems engineering, human
computer interaction, economics, management, and social sciences are
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 Detailed instructions to authors about format, evaluation
criteria,

  and submission procedure will be posted soon at the REFSQ website,

  www.refsq.org <http://www.refsq.org> 

The REFSQ 2011 proceedings are intended to be published in Springers
LNCS series, keeping the tradition of last years.
