International Workshop on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality

概要

Special Theme: Trustworthy and Ethical Systems via Requirements Engineering. These days, we face many challenges in information systems and software engineering, motivated by continuous and rapid developments in AI. In our view, this evolution is unstoppable, and we must make the world ready for it. However, as usual, technology evolves before the methods are crafted to develop them. The Requirements Engineering community is, however, very attentive and keeps up with the trends and needs of this society. REFSQ is one of the conferences responsible for that, and this year, we want to continue this tradition by proposing the Trustworthy and Ethical Systems via Requirements Engineering special theme. We cannot expect novel systems to lead to trustworthy and ethical results if we do not endow requirements engineers, system designers, and developers with proper approaches focusing on trust and ethics since the early stages of the development cycle. Thus, we hereby solicit contributions in this direction, emphasizing the following aspects: Correctness and ethics should go hand in hand with Requirements, elicitation, analysis, negotiation, monitoring, and assessment. Trust is paramount to creating a society that relies on machines for crucial processes and aspects of people’s lives. Providing people with trustworthy, ethical, and ready information about novel technology to let them choose if and how to use it is at the essence of a safe and happy world. We invite submissions along the following categories: Technical design papers (15 pages incl. references) describe the design of new artifacts, i.e., novel solutions for problems relevant to practice and/or significant and theoretically sound improvements of existing solutions. Scientific evaluation papers (15 pages incl. references) investigate existing real-world problems, evaluate existing artifacts implemented in real-world settings, or validate newly designed artifacts. Experience report papers (12 pages incl. references) describe retrospective reports on experiences in applying RE techniques in practice, or addressing RE problems in real-world contexts. Vision papers (8 pages incl. references) state where research in the field should be heading. Research previews (8 pages incl. references) describe well-defined research ideas at an early stage of investigation which may not be fully developed.
