@RE'14, Karlskrona, Sweden - http://webhotel.bth.se/re14/

-------- Call for Papers -------

The purpose of this work is to explore synergies between Artificial Intelligence and Requirements Engineering in order to identify complex RE problems that could benefit from the application of AI techniques. Given the current sparsity of AI techniques applied within the RE research community, this workshop will include a keynote that lays the foundations for challenges in our domain as well as interactive presentations from RE researchers who are in early stages of adopting AI techniques.

Three types of papers will be solicited. These include:

- Full Research Papers:
Maximum length 8 pages, describing the application and evaluation of AI techniques to an RE problem, surveying the use of AI in a particular RE-related field, or outlining a vision for AI in their field. Such papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the IEEE digital library.
- Position Statements
Maximum length 4 pages, describing a preliminary idea with initial validation. Such papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the IEEE digital library.
- Presentation Only
Workshop attendees may opt to submit a short abstract (Maximum length 2 pages) describing an idea or position. Such abstracts will not be published, but submitters will receive presentation slots at the workshop. This option is idea for somebody who is at the initial idea stage of a project, or somebody who sees the potential for adopting AI techniques and simply wishes to get feedback.

Any material that is not released via the IEEE Digital library will be made available to workshop participants only as a protected, downloadable file.

Formatting and Submission Guidelines
Submissions must be written in English and formatted according to the IEEE formatting instructions. All submissions must be in PDF format.
