The General Chair on RE'14

Innovation in and through Requirements Engineering

The IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference is the premier international forum for researchers, industrial practitioners, educators, and students to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, results and challenges in the field of requirements engineering (RE).

RE'14 has a dual theme focused on innovation. Innovation in Requirements Engineering considers new ideas and breakthroughs in the area. Innovation through Requirements Engineering centers on how its practices, processes, models, methods and frameworks enable and support innovation in product development.

RE'14 will take place in Karlskrona, Sweden. Sweden's southernmost archipelago is composed of 1,993 islands, skerries and islets - from Hasslö in the west to Utlängan in the east. Karlskrona can be reached by airplane from Stockholm, by direct train from Copenhagen or by ferry from Gdynia, Poland.

Call for contributions

RE'14 invites original submissions of research papers and industry papers in all areas of requirements engineering including elicitation, specification, modeling, analysis, verification and evolution. Categories of research papers include Technical Solution papers that describe and validate better solutions to requirements problems, Scientific Evaluation papers that evaluate existing problem situations or proposed solutions by scientific means and Vision papers that explore successes and challenges of requirements practices, or present research roadmaps. Industry papers report on the application of requirements engineering techniques in real-world settings, present problems or challenges encountered in practice and report on innovative approaches to requirements engineering practice in industrial or government settings. RE'14 also welcomes submissions for workshops, tutorials, panels and interactive events, poster and tool demonstrations and the doctoral symposium.
