*****************************************************************************



The Workshop on Requirements Engineering 2023 is now in its twenty-sixth edition. This series of workshops on the area started in 1998 as a meeting of the Ibero-American requirements engineering community. However, since then, it has attracted attention from researchers and practitioners from other parts of the world. The WER format promotes discussion and knowledge exchange between the academy and industry members. As in the last editions, this one will also feature invited lectures from well-known researchers and practitioners and tutorials. This edition will introduce a track for industry presentations.



TOPICS OF INTEREST

- Requirements elicitation, analysis, and documentation, management, traceability, prioritization, validation, verification, and negotiation;

- Requirements engineering education and training;

- Requirements engineering for specific software development paradigms, such as the agent-driven, aspect-driven, model-driven, or service-driven;

- Requirements engineering for specific fields, like safety-critical, web-based, or mobile applications systems;

- Requirements engineering in agile methodologies;

- Requirements specification languages, methods, processes, and tools;

- Model-driven software engineering

- Regulatory compliance.



* The topics of interest are not exhaustive listed



SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions must be written in Portuguese, Spanish or English, but the abstract must be in Englisch in all cases. All papers must be submitted through the Easychair submission system in PDF only, according to the LNCS format. All accepted papers will be published with Open Access through the WERpapers repository. http://wer.inf.puc-rio.br/WERpapers/index.lp

WER 2023 invites submission in the field of Requirements Engineering as part of the following tracks:



* REGULAR TRACK (WER-RT)

* TUTORIAL TRACK (WER-TT)

* MASTER’s AND DOCTORAL TRACK (WER-MDT)

* SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT TOOLS TRACK (WER-SRTT)

* JOURNAL FIRST TRACK (WER-JFT)

* INDUSTRY TRACK (WER-IT) - NEW!


We encourage authors to take into account the papers presented at previous editions of our workshop when preparing their submissions. This can help to build on existing research and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the topic at hand. Additionally, it allows authors to engage with the work of their peers and collaborate with other experts in the field.



TRACKS DESCRIPTION



REGULAR TRACK (WER-RT)



Papers presenting original results on research, teaching, and industrial viewpoints on all aspects of Requirements Engineering are welcome. The selection process will consider applicability and relevance to Requirements Engineering, originality, and clarity.

The paper should be at most 14 pages. The WER-RT uses a double-blind review process.



TUTORIAL TRACK (WER-TT)



The proposal for a 3-hour tutorial should not exceed two pages, formatted according to the LNCS page format.



MASTER’s AND DOCTORAL TRACK (WER-MDT)

Papers should not exceed 7 pages of content for Master’s work and 10 pages of content for Doctoral work.





SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT TOOLS TRACK (WER-SRTT)

Submissions for the Software Requirements Tool track must include a paper and a demo video with audio comments. The paper must have at most 10 pages.



JOURNAL FIRST TRACK (WER-JFT)

Journal manuscripts eligible for submissions must have been accepted no earlier than September 1st 2021. The manuscript must have not been presented at any other conference as a journal first contribution and it must report completely new research results or a novel contribution that significantly extends previous research.

Submissions must not exceed 2 pages.



INDUSTRY TRACK (WER-IT) - NEW!


The WER 2023 Industry Track aims to foster cooperation between academia, industry and the service sector, through lectures, articles and discussions. This track seeks to bring together professionals from these sectors to share their knowledge and experiences with the Requirements Engineering community. The paper must have between 6 and 8 pages.
