Fourth International Workshop on Requirements Engineering:
Foundation for Software Quality

June 8-9 1998
Pisa, Italy
(preceding the CAiSE*98 conference)

The workshop preparation kit is available here and the original call for papers here.

The exact times aren't consistent with the CAiSE-programme, and my change later.

The time for each paper is 35 minutes, with 15 minutes of presentation (strict), 5 minutes for the discussants, and 15 minutes for the plenary discussion.
