CALL FOR PAPERS
The 4th Requirements Engineering Track
http://www.dsc.upe.br/~sac2011
at The 26th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC 2011)
Tunghai University, TaiChung, Taiwan
March 21-25, 2011

------------
Overview
------------

For the past twenty-five years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
(SAC) has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists,
computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from
around the world.

The Fourth Edition of the Requirements Engineering Track (RE-Track'11) is
part of the 26th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing. SAC 2011 is hosted
by Tunghai University, TaiChung, Taiwan. Further details
may be found at: http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2011/.

The objective of this track is to explore different advances in Requirement Engineering
in a general way, its relation with different areas, reducing the
gap between software engineering solutions and the way one specific domain of
knowledge was seen up to given point.

------------
TOPICS
------------

These are the main areas of concern in Requirements Engineering:
* Requirements Engineering for Scientific Areas
* Requirements elicitation, analysis, documentation
* Requirements specification languages, methods, processes, and tools
* Requirements management, traceability, viewpoints
* Modelling of requirements, goals, and domains
* Non-functional requirements
* Requirements engineering and software architecture
* Aspect-oriented requirements engineering
* Agent-oriented requirements engineering
* Requirements for COTS-based systems
* Case studies and experiences based on requirements engineering
* Social, cultural, and cognitive factors in requirements engineering
* Requirements engineering: education and Training
* Requirements and Simulation
* Requirements and Autonomic Systems

------------
IMPORTANT DATES
------------
All deadlines will be strictly enforced.

Aug 24, 2010: Paper submissions
Oct 12, 2010: Author notification
Nov 2, 2010: Camera-Ready Copy

------------
PAPER SUBMISSION
------------

Authors are invited to submit original papers in all areas of Requirement
Engineering.

The program committee will blindly review submissions to that track.
The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the
paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to
facilitate blind review. The paper should not exceed 5 pages in ACM format.
Please note that the maximum page length for the conference is 5 pages
(without extra-fee), 8 is the maximum (with extra-fee).
