Recent News The on-line proceedings in the IEEE digital library can be found here: go here (13/12/2011). Programme is on line go here (23/08/2011). List of papers accepted can be found in Accepted Papers (18/07/2011). Papers accepted will be announced Monday 11th 2011 (11/07/2011). Deadline submission is approaching. Monday June 13th. Please do submit your abstrac as soon as possible (sumission link here) (03/06/2011). visit requirements@run.time 2010 More info will be published soon. Motivation requirements@run.time
will explore a
radical challenge to the traditional view of requirements models as
static,
slowly-evolving and purely design-time entities. requirements@run.time
will explore the potential for run-time abstractions
and models of requirements as a practical means to address the
challenges posed
by volatile or poorly-understood environmental contexts. These include
(e.g.)
business environments that are subject to dramatic and unforeseen
economic
conditions, or physical environments that may be remote and hostile to
humans
and computers. For such systems, detailed a-priori domain understanding
is not
achievable at design-time. This inevitably acts against the formulation
of
stable requirements. Rather, the requirements will need to be revised
and
reappraised over periods too short to be achieved by off-line adaptive
maintenance. To achieve this, systems will need to maintain
requirements models
that are dynamic, run-time entities that support reasoning, some times
with the
aid of human, and sometimes not, so that the systems can respond in
appropriate
ways to changes in their environments. requirements@run.time
takes its cue from important recent work in a number of areas,
including
requirements monitoring, computational reflection, self-adaptive
systems and
multi-objective reasoning. The
workshop aims to: -
Provide
a “state-of-the-research” assessment expressed in terms of research
issues,
challenges, and achievements. -
Combine
research ideas from requirements engineering, requirements monitoring,
computational reflection, model-driven engineering, and autonomic,
self-healing
systems and self-explaining systems. -
Devise
a research agenda for the achievement of requirements-aware systems. -
Simulate
the creation of a network of researchers in the area. -
Plan
and promote further events on the topic. • Representation
of runtime requirements • Computational
reflection and requirements • Requirements
monitoring • Reasoning
over requirements models at runtime • Traceability
of runtime requirements • Relationship
of runtime requirements to other SE phases (architecture/design/testing) • Application
areas (e.g., Self Adaptive Systems) • Methodologies
incorporating runtime requirements • Diagnosis
of failed requirements Workshop
format requirements@run.time will be a one-day workshop and will be
discussion-oriented to promote
interaction and exchange of ideas. The first part of the workshop will
be for
papers selected for their quality and potential for stimulating
discussion.
From these, we will synthesize a set of research challenges to set the
agenda
for discussion in the afternoon breakout sessions. The breakout and
final
plenary sessions will aim to identify a forward research agenda to
tackle the
challenges. We invite two categories of papers: -
Full papers (8-10
pages) -
Position papers (4-8
pages) Papers
submitted should follow the two-column IEEE format (as in the main
Conference RE, http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting ). Each paper will be reviewed by at least three (3)
reviewers, and authors
will be notified of acceptance before the RE 2011 early
registration deadline. We will also welcome non-presenting
participants,
although the number of attendees will be limited by the room capacity. Further
