RE Cares seeks to engage the Requirements Engineering (RE) community to participate in design and development hackathon of "software for social good" projects as the means for the RE researchers and practitioners to give back to the community.
The RE Cares@REFSQ workshop is designed as a reflection and working session with a twofold goal:
(a) Seeking RE community participation and engagement,
(b) Discussing the ways of improving the quality of artifacts developed during RE Cares events.
With RE Cares@REFSQ, we aim to create an excellent environment to seek community feedback on how to run RE Cares in most efficient, community- and stakeholder-friendly way, and to have an opportunity to test specific procedures and techniques we plan on employing during RE Cares 2019 for requirements elicitation, software design, and rapid software prototyping.
Submission Guidelines
RE Cares@REFSQ asks for submissions to participate in two ways:
1) As a SPEAKER:
Submitted short experience reports must be in CEUR format (5-6 pages), outlining the authors' prior experiences in participating in "software for social good" projects, specifically concentrating on requirements engineering software design aspects, and detailing any lessons learned.
The author can find some example templates and additional writing guidelines at:
http://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html
The style to follow is onecolceurws.sty and can be found at:
http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/samplestyles/onecolceurws.sty
All submitted experience reports will be reviewed by 2 PC members and evaluated based on the appropriateness to the subject matter and the intent of the workshop.
Authors of accepted papers will be invited to give a short presentation at the workshop.
2) As a HACKATHON ACTOR:
All people interested in participating in the workshop must submit a short bio (max 1 page) and a short statement of interest in RE Cares and its goals (max 1 page) .
The submission and review process will be performed through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=recares19
