ICRE96 CFP: Requirement Engineering (4/96, Colorado)

SECOND IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING


An IEEE Software Technology Transfer Conference
April 15-18, 1996, Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA


Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society - Technical Council on Software Engineering
In Cooperation with Fujitsu and MCI


C A L L F O R P A P E R S




ICRE '96 is the second in a biennial series of conferences aimed at
bringing together practitioners and researchers to discuss software
requirements engineering related problems and results. Further, as
a technology transfer conference, it is designed to provide
(1) practitioners with an evaluation of promising requirements research
and practice, and (2) researchers with an exposure to real-world
requirements problems.




PAPERS:
Authors are invited to submit papers concerned with requirements
theory and/or practice.


- EXPERIENCE PAPERS reflect on the nature of, and solutions
to real-world requirements problems.


- RIPE FRUITS describe research results that authors believe are
ready for immediate use in practice.


- RESEARCH PAPERS describe outcomes of near-term research projects
addressing realistic requirements problems.


Authors are encouraged to focus on one of these three aspects
as the primary theme of their contribution. In all cases, practical and
near-term applicability of the proposed ideas must be emphasized. Topics
include, but are not limited to:


- Requirements problems, techniques & tools
- Requirements definition, analysis & validation
- Defining the system-human interface requirements
- Prototyping, animation & visualization of requirements
- Business process relationship to system requirements
- Non-linear & heterogeneous requirements descriptions
- Supporting requirements elicitation & evolution
- Requirements engineering as a group activity
- Requirements engineering in legacy system migration
- Role of software architecture in requirements
- Advances in formal methods & their practical use
- Lessons from domain-specific requirements practices
- Requirements-based system testing
- Role of requirements standards


ASSISTANCE FOR EXPERIENCE PAPERS:
Special consideration will be given to promising experience papers.
These papers should present evidence to validate, modify or
disprove current views on the effectiveness of requirements
technology in practice. Practitioners who wish assistance in sharing
their experiences may submit a 1-3 page, double-spaced, extended
abstract to the program chair by June 2, 1995. The abstract should
summarize problems addressed, lessons learned, and recommendations proposed.
The program committee will provide feedback within six weeks of this
submission to assist the author(s) in writing the full length paper.


PANELS:
Proposals that focus on requirements engineering controversies are
encouraged, especially those that highlight the gulf between
requirements research and practice. Preference will be given to
panels that consist of members who have a significant presence in
the field and present a diversity of views on the topic chosen.
Proposals should include the title, a brief description of issues to be
debated, the names of prospective panel members, and a description of
their roles.


SUBMISSION:
Full length papers are limited to 6000 words, typed double spaced.
They should include a short (150 words) abstract, list of descriptive
keywords, specification of submission type (experience/ripe fruits/research)
and complete contact information for the lead author. Authors
should send six copies of their abstracts, papers and panel proposals,
in English, to one of the program chairs:
