This paper explores how to integrate expert systems into the automated tracing process; it attempts to address the terminology-mismatch problem faced by conventional trace retrieval techniques.



(University of Waterloo, Canada)
We propose a pattern for modelling feature requirements and an interface to features, which together may ease the readability and writability of feature requirements.

This paper traces the history of the RE conference from its inception through the present, with insights from key players, and discussion of future directions.



(University of Southern California, USA)
We assist the decomposition of system-level requirements to models of individual components via requirements-driven heuristics that overcome the incompleteness proven to be induced by direct decomposition.




(University of Kentucky, USA)
Unstructured artifact tracing is improved by using reinforcement learning techniques, examining the context of words as opposed to treating artifacts as a "bag of words".

A novel solution helps to downsize the workload of requirements volatility analysis by recommending a converging subset of change-prone requirements based on regression analysis.




(City University London, UK)
Every year a stampede of models passes through RE, and every year this herd is composed differently, defying proper classification but demanding some direction.



(University of Twente, Netherlands)
We propose a method to identify potential risks of using a dynamic service provisioning approach due to incomplete assumptions made, by the application programmer or by independent service providers, on component services.


(University of Zurich, Switzerland)
Cloud providers elicit consumer requirements differently from what you may think - We know how and why.

Let's discuss arguments for our requirements/software engineering vision focusing on coordinated composition of generic, reusable, not-product-specific artifacts across the whole software development lifecycle!




(CMU, USA)
In a complex application ecosystem with multiple privacy policies and stakeholders, we enable identification of conflicting data privacy requirements, and data repurposing.



(ISCAS, China; UCAS, China; University of East London, UK)
Empirically investigate how requirements dependencies correlate with and predict software integration bugs, which can provide early estimate regarding software quality.

Open source software development doesn't use classical requirements artifacts and processes, yet it works - what does it use instead, and how?




(Mississippi State University, USA)
Find out how visual requirements analytics helps create an efficient path from data to decision.



(TU Ilmenau, Germany)
Practitioners rarely follow explicit traceability strategies. But they should, because we revealed severe traceability problems in all 17 studied software projects that strategizing could avoid.




(University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg; University of Namur, Belgium; Ozemantics, Australia)
