============================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING TRACK, 8th Edition http://sac2015.ecomp.poli.br/ at The 30th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC-2015) Salamanca, Spain April 13-17, 2015 For the past twenty-nine years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. The Eight Edition of the Requirements Engineering Track (RE-Track'15) is part of the 30th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing. SAC 2015 is hosted by University of Salamanca. Further details may be found at: http://sac2015.ecomp.poli.br/. The objective of this track is to explore different advances in requirement engineering in a general way, its relation with different areas, reducing the gap between software engineering solutions and the way one specific domain of knowledge was seen up to given point. IMPORTANT DATES ================ Paper submission: Oct. 10, 2014 Authors Notification: Nov. 17, 2014 Camera-Ready: Dec. 8, 2014 PAPER SUBMISSION ================ Authors are invited to submit in all areas of Requirement Engineering. The program committee will blindly review submissions to that track. The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind review. The paper should not exceed 6 pages in ACM format. Please note that the maximum page length for the conference is 6 pages (without extra-fee), 8 is the maximum (with extra-fee). Submissions should be printable on a standard printer on common paper formats, such as US letter and A4. Papers should not be submitted to more than one ACM-SAC track. Paper submissions should be done electronically through the website at http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/Paper-SubmissionUploadPage.htm. Further information may be found at: http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/. Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of registered papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library. STUDENTS COMPETITION ===================== Active graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their research ideas are invited to submit abstracts of their original unpublished and in-progress research work in areas of experimental computing and application development related to SAC 2015 Tracks. Please visit SAC 2015 website. Paper registration is required for inclusion of the paper in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of registered papers will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library TOPICS ====== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: • Automatic software generation • Requirements Engineering for Scientific Areas • Requirements elicitation, analysis, documentation • Requirements specification languages, methods, processes, and tools • Requirements management, traceability, viewpoints • Modeling of requirements, goals, and domains • Non-functional requirements • Requirements engineering and software architecture • Aspect-oriented requirements engineering • Agent-oriented requirements engineering • Requirements for COTS-based systems • Case studies and experiences based on requirements engineering • Social, cultural, and cognitive factors in requirements engineering • Requirements engineering: education and Training • Requirements and Simulation • Requirements and Autonomic Systems • Requirements Reuse TRACK CO-CHAIRS =============== Maria Lencastre (mlpm@ecomp.poli.br) Universidade de Pernambuco, Brazil João Araújo (joao.araujo@fct.unl.pt) Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal PROGRAM COMMITTEE ================= • Alberto Silva, Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisboa, Portugal • Ana Moreira, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal • Carme Quer, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain • Camille Salinesi, Université Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne, France • Carla Silva, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil • Daniel M.
