The last decade has seen improvements in our understanding of RE with better practices supported by better techniques, methods and tools. Despite these successes, many quality-related problems remain, while new challenges for RE constantly emerge. REFSQ seeks reports of innovative work in RE that contributes to the achievement of higher software quality. In particular, we encourage people from the requirements engineering, software engineering, information systems, and embedded systems fields to present their approaches to RE.</div> <div>  </div> <div> <I><B>Themes</B></I></div> <div> Submissions may be on any aspect of RE and its relation to other fields, for instance:</div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Understanding and improving RE processes, RE method engineering</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">RE for special needs (web services, mobile appliances, open source development, ubiquitous computing, etc.)</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Social issues in RE</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Innovation-driven RE</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">RE economics</div> <bR> <div> Case studies, experience reports and industrial problem statements are particularly encouraged.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Workshop Format and Submissions</B></I></div> <div> To maintain REFSQ's tradition of productive interactivity, attendance is limited to 30 people.
