Building upon last year’s theme of redefining requirements engineering (RE), this year we invite you to sketch the future of RE and explore uncharted territories.

Embracing the theme Exploring New Horizons: Expanding the Frontiers of Requirements Engineering, we invite submissions that challenge existing perceptions of RE, shed light on its intersections with other software engineering activities, fields, and endeavors, and push beyond its established boundaries.

Suggested Paper Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    Requirements Elicitation, Specification, and Analysis
    Requirements Validation and Verification
    Requirements Change Management
    Traceability and Impact Analysis
    Requirements Quality and Metrics
    Requirements Tooling and Automation
    Software Requirements and Architecture
    Requirements-Driven Quality Assurance
    Formal RE
    RE and Modeling
    Requirements in Software Configuration, Maintenance, and Evolution
    Requirements in Agile Development
    Requirements for DevOps
    RE4AI and AI4RE
    Creativity in RE
    Cognitive, Emotional, and Social Aspects of RE
    Distributed and Collaborative RE
    Community-based RE (e.g., open source, crowdsourcing)
    Responsible RE (e.g., ethics, privacy)
    RE for Green and Sustainable Technologies
    Requirements and Legal/Regulatory Compliance
    Diversity, inclusion, and social concerns in RE
    Domain-specific RE (e.g., RE4IoT, RE4VR, Quantum RE, RE for Blockchain)
    Advanced Technologies for RE (e.g., IoT4RE, VR4RE)
    RE Education and Training
    Prompt-based Engineering
    The Next New Thing… … embrace the challenge and surprise the RE community!
