The
eleventh Workshop on Requirements Engineering (WER08), continued with the tradition of previous
editions, providing an open and active forum for researchers and practitioners
of the iberoamerican community, to present and discuss their work, to exchange
experiences and to look for prospective collaborations in the field of
requirements engineering.
WER08 was held in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, in September 12 to 13
of 2008.
The international program committee, from 8 different countries, was
composed of
35 relevant researchers coming both from the academia and the industry.
30 papers
were received; 3 reviews where completed for each paper, 16 were accepted as full papers and 4
as short papers.
The selected papers covered the main activities of requirements
engineering.
Presentations were organized in six sessions, distributed during the
two days of
the workshop. The topics of the sessions included elicitation,
analysis, traceability
and modeling of requirements, as well as process, quality and reuse.
The program
included an opening session with a keynote by Roel Wieringa, entitled
Business-IT
Alignment in Value Webs.
We would like to thank all the individuals and institutions who have
contributed to
make this workshop a reality: the authors who submitted papers; the
keynote
speaker for accepting our invitation; the program committee members for
carefully
reviewing the papers;
the people that belong to the GESSI research group that have helped in
the organization of the workshop; and the participants of the workshop
that justify the celebration of the workshop yearly.
