The next RE Conference, the 25th IEEE International Requirements
Engineering Conference (RE'17), will be held in Lisbon, Portugal,
from the 4th to the 8th of September, 2017.

http://re2017.org/

The whole RE'17 team and Ana and Joao as General Co-Chairs, Barbara and
Jane as Program Co-Chairs and Michael and Walid as Industry Track Co-Chairs
are extending a sincere invitation to you to participate in and
contribute to RE'17.

RE'17 follows the theme:

"Desperately Seeking Less": The Role of Simplicity and Complementarity
in Requirements

RE'17 will offer an extensive program of interest to academia, government
and industry. It will include several distinguished keynote speakers and
three conference days filled with research and industry papers, panels, posters,
and demonstrations. We introduce a new Data Track: industry-relevant challenges
will be posed and industrial artifacts, consisting of requirements, models and
specifications, will be provided so that researchers can apply their techniques
to these artifacts. The conference will also feature a series of exciting
tutorials to develop skills in and advance awareness of RE practices of particular
interest to industry. It will include two days of workshops and a doctoral
symposium to offer forums for participants to present cutting-age techniques
and approaches in particular fields.

CALL FOR PAPERS

RE'17 invites original submissions of Research papers, RE@Next! papers,
Industry papers, and Data Track papers in all areas of RE including elicitation,
specification, modeling, analysis, verification and evolution. Categories of
Research papers include Technical Solution papers that describe and validate
better solutions to requirements-related problems, Scientific Evaluation papers
that evaluate existing problem situations, real-world artifacts or proposed
solutions by scientific means, and Perspective papers that explore successes
and challenges of requirements practices and research agendas or present
research roadmaps, possibly derived from a literature review.
RE@Next! papers are short communications that describe the current status of
ongoing research. Industry papers report on the application of RE techniques in
real-world settings, present problems or challenges encountered in practice and
report on innovative approaches to RE practice in industrial or government
settings. Data track papers are described above. RE'17 welcomes submissions also
for workshops, tutorials, panels, interactive events, poster, tool demos and the
doctoral symposium.

Submissions: http://re2017.org/pages/submission/submit/

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended article
versions to a special issue of the Requirements Engineering Journal.
