2013 21st IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE),
July 15–19, 2013,
Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
Preface
Message from the Chairs
Welcome to the 21st IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE’13). Given a thriving Ibero-American community of Requirements Engineering researchers and practitioners, it is with great pride that Latin America hosts the Requirements Engineering conference for the very first time. RE’13 will be held in Brasil, on the campus of Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), just steps away from the famous beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana. As the Requirements Engineering community celebrates its 21st birthday, the ‘Marvelous City’ (‘Cidade Maravilhosa’) offers us a unique stage.
To mark this important coming of age, the theme for RE’13 is ‘RE@21: Keeping Requirements on Track’. We seek to investigate whether the field of Requirements Engineering has made its transition from adolescence into adulthood, and we hope to guide its onward journey; are we addressing the ‘right’ problems and are we providing ‘effective’ solutions? RE’13 is a timely opportunity for researchers, practitioners, educators, and students to come together to reflect and discuss our progress as a community, and to identify the important challenges still to be tackled.
