Motivation & Purpose
-------------------------------
The International Workshop on the Web and Requirements Engineering 
(WeRE) will offer an international forum for exchanging ideas on both 
using Web technologies as a platform for requirements engineering, and 
applying requirements engineering in the development and use of 
web-based applications. We invite to submit original, high-quality 
papers that present on-going work on new ideas and experiences with 
Requirements Engineering and the Web. The workshop will focus on 
discussion and exchange of ideas among researchers, designers, and users 
who are working or are interested in any combination of these two main 
topics. In the last decade, the number and complexity of web-based 
applications and the amount of information they offer has been growing 
exponentially. In the context of Software Engineering, design methods 
and methodologies have been introduced to support the development of 
these complex applications in a systematic way. However, most of these 
methodologies focus on design and neglect other tasks, notably 
requirement analysis and quality management. However, in the development 
of traditional (non-web) applications both practitioners and process 
experts regard requirements engineering as a phase of crucial importance 
in the development process. It is well-known that the most common and 
time-consuming errors as well as the most expensive ones to repair, are 
those caused by inadequate engineering of requirements. Moreover, 
web-based applications demand new requirements engineering techniques 
that need to be adapted to a large, open and changing community of, can 
deal with navigational requirements and broad in scope so that they can 
account for business processes as well as web usability. These new 
techniques will need to offer more participatory environments to support 
effective collaboration among stakeholders. In this context, the Web 
(especially Web 2.0 applications), provide a convenient platform to 
allow stakeholders and users alike more active participation in 
requirements engineering.

Topics of interest
  -----------------------
The scope of the WeRE workshop includes but is 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 engineering-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 
applicationsSubmission

Guidelines
----------------

Paper submission will be electronic by using the EasyChair system at 
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=were2011

The length of submitted papers should not exceed 10 pages. Paper  
submissions should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

Accepted papers will be published as post-proceeding in the Springer 
LNCS series and be mailed to all the conference attendees. We are also  
negotiating a special issue in a JCR journal for the publication of 
extended versions of the best contributions to the workshop.
