Report Working Conference on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality (REFSQ'08)

摘要

REFSQ'08 took place over the 16th and 17th June 2008 in the lively French city of Montpellier. 40 participants spent two days very intensively discussing the contributions of 17 papers, their implications and combinations. In these discussions some recurrent topics and new trends were emphasized: the importance of understanding the context and effectiveness of RE techniques, the multiplicity of requirements representations and their integration, the support for creativity, the necessity to make the body of knowledge better accessible e.g. through an open source RE tool community, and the challenges of RE for innovative or large-scale systems as well as of RE decision making in an uncertain environment.
