Workshops REFSQ 2023

The REFSQ Working Conferences provide a forum for exchanging innovative ideas and approaches to successful requirements engineering among researchers and professionals. The workshop program aims to enrich this forum with events focused on specific areas of RE. A workshop should provide benefits to the RE community along one or more of the following dimensions: innovativeness of the area, high potential for involving both industrial and research actors, influence on industrial practice, or addressing novel trends in software engineering at large.

NLP4RE: 6th Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Requirements Engineering

The rapid progress of natural language processing (NLP), demonstrated by the recent breakthrough of ChatGPT, necessitates new perspectives on incorporating NLP within diverse requirements engineering (RE) activities. NLP4RE has taken up the mission of advancing the current state of the art in applying NLP for solving and providing automated support in RE.

Join us in the 6th edition of our NLP4RE workshop to learn more about the close relation between NLP and RE.

Organization: Sallam Abualhaija, Andreas Vogelsang, Gouri Deshpande

ViVA RE!: 1st Workshop on Virtues and Values in Requirements Engineering

Join us in the ethics workshop ViVaRE! and use an innovative visual modeling approach to discuss ChatGPT, Proctoring, Finances and their ethical dilemmas with the Square of Values.

Square of Values is a visual modeling approach for identifying ethical design alternatives in systems development. It will be introduced and applied in case studies during the workshop. Case study materials will be supplied. After this half-day workshop you will be invited as a co-author to write an experience report about using the Square of Values.

Organization: Alexander Rachmann, Jens Gulden

4. A statement of the goals and motivation for the workshop;
5. A brief description of the topic of the workshop and a list of related topics;
6. An outline of the workshop format (traditional vs. paperless) and a sample of program, e.g., paper presentations, keynotes, breakout sessions, panel-like discussions, combination; more details on this point are requested for paperless workshops;
7. Outline of paper submission and selection process (if any);
8. Alternative publishing plans, in case something different from CEUR proceedings is expected (especially for paperless workshops);
9. A short description of the target audience and how the workshop will be advertised;
10. Anticipated number of participants, especially any information regarding already confirmed participation is welcome (a must for paperless workshops);
