Goals of the workshop

The workshop will serve as a platform for the presentation and discussion of new and innovative approaches to prioritization and communication issues in requirements engineering. Topics can either carry out new research approaches with a fundamental theoretical background or best-practices from practitioners. A high rate of active participation and intense exchange of ideas and experiences shall encourage researchers as well as software developers, requirements engineers or consultants to absorb new ideas and to carry them out into their daily work and research projects.

Topics of the workshop

Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Identification and prioritization of stakeholder and customer groups
• Elicitation and prioritization of long-term requirements
• Techniques to classify and categorize requirements
• Estimation of interdependency between solutions and/or requirements

• Success factors of requirements prioritization and communication
• Megatrends in society and software economy and their impact on requirements prioritization and communication
• Cultural and social aspects
• Adaptation of communication theory for requirements prioritization
• Communicational aspects for requirements negotiation
