Regards Peter Peters C A L L F O R P A P E R S ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- R E F S Q `9 5 Second International Workshop on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality June 12-13 1995 Jyvaskyla, Finland (preceeding the CAiSE conference) P U R P O S E The ultimate measurement for software quality is the degree to which user requirements are fulfilled by a system. Early elicitation and correct definition of requirements avoids costly rework during later development stages and builds the foundation for building high quality systems. Therefore, requirements engineering is considered as a more and more crucial part of the system life cycle. During requirements engineering the user and engineers have to find a way from an initially opaque and diverse system understanding to exact, agreed and at least partially formalized system specifications. A multitude of methods from software engineering, ethnology, social sciences, and psychology have been adapted to support this process and to achieve a growing quality of the requirements specification as a foundation of higher system quality. Most of these methods are relying on adequate specification languages which are expressive and formal enough so that the represented quality requirements can be verified or validated. At the REFSQ`94 workshop researchers from various disciplines presented approaches that focused on the improvement of the definition and implementation of (quality) requirements. The success of REFSQ`94 encouraged us to provide a follow-up workshop REFSQ`95 as a stage for the discussion of quality related problems in Requirements Engineering as they developed in the last year. We also invite people from the software and information systems engineering field to present their approach for higher software quality and to discuss how Requirements Engineering can contribute to it. G O A L The main goal of the REFSQ`95 is to bring together people working in the fields of requirements engineering and software quality, focussing on the - specification of quality requirements - their traceability back to user needs and forward to the design - their realization by SE methods - and the measurement of their achievement. T H E M E S REFSQ`95 invites contributions from research as well as from industry, dealing with (but not limited to) the following topics: - Specification of software quality requirements - Quality models for requirements engineering - Integration and extension of specification models by quality aspects - Formal representation methods - Quality-oriented process models for requirements engineering - Traceability of quality requirements - The interplay between design and requirements engineering methods - Measurement of quality requirements satisfaction by suitable metrics P A R T I C I P A T I O N The workshop will be an interactive forum with presentations of papers and discussion groups. Presentations will be brief (10 minutes max.) and will be followed by a panel discussion between authors and audience. Papers should emphasize what is new and significant about the chosen approach and adequately compare it with similar work. Attendance will be limited to 25 people and all participants must have written accepted papers. The workshop language is English. As the workshop is being organized in conjunction with the CAiSE conference all workshop participants are expected to attend the main conference.

It is among the best-established forums of discussion in the interna- tional database community. VLDB '95 will take place in Zuerich, Switzerland. We invite the database community to submit papers reporting recent research results in the general field of database systems. Especially, we solicit the submission of papers addressing novel, challenging, and innovative directions in database research (so-called "hot-topics"). We also encourage submission of papers describing work of signifi- cant interest to industry, particularly in areas providing interest- ing directions for the development of databases.

Databases, in close conjunction with other information techno- logies, will have to play a leading role within this trend. Therefore, the conference will give extra weight to papers opening future direc- tions for others to follow, with a well-argued and stimulating presen- tation, even where some of the results may still be in a preliminary stage. Topics may include, but are not restricted to, the following items: - Human-Computer Interaction, Hypermedia, Direct Manipulation Interfaces - Cooperating and Interoperable Federated Systems, Network Media- tors - Transactional Workflow Control, Activity Management - Rules and Constraints in Very Large Knowledge Bases - Incremental Database Design, Design Techniques for Object- Oriented and Active Databases - Intelligent Search and Data Mining - Performance Improvements, Object Stores, Small Grain Parallelism - Mobile Databases - Terabyte Scale Applications, GIS, Scientific Database Systems - Industrial Issues and Standards "Delta" papers, which incrementally advance previous results only in the subtle details and hence are likely to appeal only to a small group of specialists, should expect tougher competition than in the past. Extended versions of the best papers on systems aspects of databases may be published in a special issue of the VLDB Journal. Paper Submission ---------------- Six copies of original papers not exceeding 5000 words (double spaced pages, including keywords) MUST BE RECEIVED by the 25th of February 1995, by the appropriate regional program chair. Submissions should contain a return address on the cover sheet, including a fax number and an email address.

DOOD focuses on research in the theory of deductive and object-oriented databases, the integration of object-oriented paradigm and rule-based deduction to provide a single powerful framework for intelligent database systems, and advanced applications of such systems. This continues the direction established by the three very successful DOOD conferences held in 1989 in Kyoto, Japan, in 1991 in Munich, Germany, and in 1993 in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Papers describing implemented DOOD systems, from academic prototypes to advanced industrial projects, are strongly solicited. SUGGESTED TOPICS The following topics are of interest when treated in the context of deductive and object-oriented databases. Integrating the Logic and OO Paradigms Integrating with Programming Languages Integrating with Existing DB Technology Applications Data Models Object Management Object Migration Rule Management Active Rule Management Transaction Management Views and Updates Security and Integrity Enforcement Query Languages and Query Optimization Performance Spatial and Temporal Data Heterogeneous Systems Parallel Systems Database Design Tools User Interfaces SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Authors are cordially invited to submit five copies of an original paper on topics including, but not limited to, those listed above, to the region's Program Committee Co-Chair by >> April 15, 1995 <<. Manuscripts must be in English, typed in double spaced format in 12 point font, and not more than 5,000 words. We intend to publish the proceedings in time for distribution at the conference in the Springer LNCS series. [Americas] Alberto O.
