Early Aspects at ICSE 2007: Workshop on Aspect-Oriented Requirements Engineering and Architecture Design

The “Early Aspects @ ICSE’07” is the 11th workshop in the series of Early Aspects workshops [1] which focuses on aspect identification during the requirements engineering and architecture derivation activities. The specific aim of the present workshop is twofold: (a) to initiate creation of an Early Aspects application demonstration and comparisons benchmark; and (b) to solicit submission of new research

Early aspects: aspect-oriented requirements engineering and architecture design

This paper reports on the third Early Aspects: Aspect-Oriented Requirements Engineering and Architecture Design Workshop, which has been held in Lancaster, UK, on March 21, 2004. The workshop included a presentation session and working sessions in which the particular topics on early aspects were discussed. The primary goal of the workshop was to focus on challenges to defining methodical software development processes for aspects from early on in the software life cycle and explore the potential of proposed methods and techniques to scale up to industrial applications

Report of the 8th Workshop on Empirical RequirementsEngineering (EmpiRE 2023)

The Eighth International Workshop on Empirical Requirements Engineering (EmpiRE 2023), co-located with the 31st IEEE International Requirements Engineering conference (RE 2023), was held on September 5, 2023 in Hannover, Germany. This report presents the workshop structure, the keynote speech, the themes of the presented papers, and the panel discussion

Summary of the 4th International Workshop on Requirements Engineering and Testing (RET 2017)

The RET (Requirements Engineering and Testing) workshop series provides a meeting point for researchers and practitioners from the two separate fields of Requirements Engineering (RE) and Testing. The long term aim is to build a community and a body of knowledge within the intersection of RE and Testing, i.e., RET. The 4th workshop was co-located with the 25th International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE'17) in Lisbon, Portugal and attracted about 20 participants. In line with the previous workshop instances, RET 2017 o ered an interactive setting with a keynote, an invited talk, paper presentations, and a concluding hands-on exercise

Natural language processing for requirements engineering: The best is yet to come

As part of the growing interest in natural language processing for requirements engineering (RE), RE researchers, computational linguists, and industry practitioners met at the First Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Requirements Engineering (NLP4RE 18). This article summarizes the workshop and presents an overview of the discussion held on the field’s future. This article is part of a theme issue on software engineering’s 50th anniversary.Postprint (author's final draft

Parallel Distributed Grammar Engineering for Practical Applications

Based on a detailed case study of parallel grammar development distributed across two sites, we review some of the requirements for regression testing in grammar engineering, summarize our approach to systematic competence and performance profiling, and discuss our experience with grammar development for a commercial application. If possible, the workshop presentation will be organized around a software demonstration
