In conjunction with 12th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2012)
Berlin, Germany, July 23-27, 2012

Conference Web Site: http://icwe2012.webengineering.org/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Motivation & Purpose
--------------------
The International Workshop on the Web and Requirements Engineering (WeRE) intends to be an international event for exchanging ideas on both using Web technologies as a platform in the requirements engineering field, and applying requirements engineering in the development and use of Web applications. Papers focused on new domains and new experiences with the connection between requirements engineering and the Web are also highly encouraged. The workshop will be a forum for researchers, designers, and users who are related to the combination of these two main topics.


Topics of interest
------------------
The scope of the WeRE workshop includes but is not limited to:

-Web requirements elicitation and analysis
-Web requirements validation and verification
-Web engineering methods and tools supporting requirements
-Traceability in Web requirements
-Modeling of requirements, goals, and domains in Web engineering
-Prototyping and simulation in Web requirements engineering
-Evolution of Web requirements
-Alignment between business and Web requirements
-Social, cultural, and cognitive factors in Web requirements engineering
-User-centred analysis and design
-Domain specific modelling languages addressing requirements for Web applications
-Web 2.0 and requirements engineering
-Requirements engineering for rich internet applications
-Model-driven approaches based on requirements models for Web applications and rich internet applications


Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Submissions can be of two types:
- research papers which should not exceed 12 pages.
- short papers describing preliminary work which should not exceed 6 pages.

Both should be formatted according the Springer LNCS format, and they must be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair conference management system:
