Requirements Engineering Track, 13th Edition
at the 35th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC-2020)
Brno, Czech Republic
March 30 - April 03, 2020

http://www.ecomp.poli.br/~sac/sac2020/

For over thirty 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.

Requirements Engineering (RE) is recognized as a critical activity in any systems engineering process. The growing number of complex and multidisciplinary software applications, the speed at which they need to be developed while respecting conflicting goals (e.g. the sustainability dimensions), the heterogeneous environment they need to recognize and interconnect with, and the degree to which they are expected to change, all play a role in determining how the development process should be conducted.

Independently of the nature of the system, producing good requirements is essential for delivering quality products designed to meet the complexities of our advanced information society. Such requirements must be measurable, testable, aligned with business goals, needs or opportunities, and defined to a level of detail to reduce the gap with software design.

Therefore, the objective of this track is to explore advances in Requirements Engineering to cope with the increasing demand for better, faster, and more usable software systems in heterogeneous and multidisciplinary environments.

IMPORTANT DATES
===============
Sep 15, 2019: Submission of regular papers and SRC abstracts
Nov 10, 2019: Notification of acceptance/rejection of papers, posters and SRC
NOV 25, 2019: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers

REGULAR PAPER SUBMISSION
========================
Authors are invited to submit in all areas of Requirements Engineering. ACM SAC 2020 follows a double blind reviewing process. Therefore, authors' names, addresses or any other information leading to the identification of an author are forbidden, and self-references must be in the third person.

The maximum page length for the conference is 8 pages without extra-fee, and 10 pages with a fee per page. Submissions must be printable on a standard printer on common paper formats, such as US letter and A4.

Paper submissions must be done electronically through the following website: https://www.softconf.com/j/sac2020/

Please be reminded that the same paper must not be submitted to more than one ACM-SAC track.

SAC No-Show Policy: Paper registration is mandatory to allow the inclusion of the work in the conference proceedings and in the ACM digital library. An author or a proxy attending SAC must present the paper. No-show of registered papers and posters will result in their exclusion from the ACM digital library.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION FOR STUDENTS RESEARCH COMPETITION (SRC)
===========================================================
Active graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their research ideas are invited to submit abstracts of their original unpublished and in-progress research work in areas of experimental computing and application development related to SAC 2020 Tracks.

SRC abstract submissions must be done electronically through the following website: https://www.softconf.com/j/sac-src2020/
