Submission deadline | June 9, 2017 |
The 7th International Model-Driven Requirements Engineering (MoDRE) workshop continues to provide a forum to discuss the challenges of Model-Driven Development (MDD) for Requirements Engineering (RE). Building on the interest of MDD for design and implementation, RE may benefit from MDD techniques when properly balancing flexibility for capturing varied user needs with formal rigidity required for model transformations as well as high-level abstraction with information richness. MoDRE seeks to explore those areas of requirements engineering that have not yet been formalized sufficiently to be incorporated into a model-driven development environment as well as how requirements engineering models can benefit from emerging topics in the model-driven community, such as flexible modeling or collaborative modeling. This workshop intends to identify new challenges, discuss on-going work and potential solutions, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of MDD approaches for RE, foster stimulating discussions on the topic, and provide opportunities to apply MDD approaches for RE.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
Participants are invited to submit four kinds of papers:
- Full research papers with a length of eight (8) to ten (10) pages, reporting on findings for problems related to model-driven requirements engineering that are novel and improve on or analyze existing solutions.
- Short research papers with a length of four (4) to five (5) pages, reporting on initial work that may not yet have been fully developed.
- Position papers with a length of four (4) to five (5) pages, reporting on ideas and visions for the future of model-driven requirements engineering.
- Industry papers, with a length of four (4) to ten (10) pages, describing experiences related to the adoption of model-driven requirements engineering practices in the industry or highlithing future challenges.
Papers must be in pdf format, written in English, formatted according to the following IEEE formatting instructions.
List of Topics
Submissions are welcome in all workshop topics including (but not limited to) the following:
- Modeling languages and metamodels for requirements engineering approaches.
- Modeling languages and metamodels for supporting separation of concerns in requirements models.
- Modeling languages and metamodels for non-functional requirements.
- Modeling languages and metamodels for requirements engineering for specific domains, such as cyber-physical systems or Big Data applications.
- Synchronicity and consistency of different requirements models and views.
- Requirements models at runtime.
- Automatic analysis of requirements models.

Publication
Accepted papers will become part of the workshop proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion into the IEEE Digital Library. Workshop presentations will be posted on the MoDRE website. Acceptance of a paper implies that one of the authors registers for the workshop to present the submission; failure to do so by the early registration deadline will result in the paper being withdrawn from the workshop proceedings. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the workshop (e.g., by not placing it into the IEEE Digital Library) if the paper is not presented at the workshop.
