Abstract

Usability and accessibility issues are common causes for software failing to meet user requirements&#046; However, requirements engineers often focus on functional requirements and may not fully elicit usability and accessibility requirements&#046; This high risk practice can lead to project and software failure and it is well known that improving the usability and accessibility requirements during development is relatively costly and time consuming&#046; Targeting these concerns, the workshop addresses the integration of system usability and accessibility requirements into the requirements engineering process and processes for managing and controlling the evaluation of these requirements in a systematic way&#046;<br>The UsARE 2016 focuses on usability and accessibility requirements for IoT (Internet of Things) including mobile and wearable computing&#046;<br>TOPICS<br>The UsARE 2016 workshop is dedicated to observations, concepts, approaches, frameworks and practices that promote understanding, facilitating, and increasing the awareness of the role of system usability and accessibility requirements and their proper integration into the requirement engineering process&#046;<br>The UsARE 2016 workshop strongly encourages submissions that focus on usability and accessibility requirements for IOT (Internet of Things) including mobile and wearable computing, but submissions on other relevant topics are also welcome&#046;<br>Topics of interest for paper submissions include, but are not limited to methodologies, frameworks, concepts, and tool support for:<br>&#8211; User&#8211;centered requirements engineering<br>* Elicitation, representation, and negotiation of usability and accessibility requirements<br>* Evaluation of usability and accessibility requirements<br>&#8211; Impacts of RE and usability/accessibility considerations on software design and development processes and products<br>&#8211; Usability and accessibility requirements management<br>&#8211; RE at run&#8211;time for usable and accessible, adaptable and adaptive systems<br>&#8211; Usability and accessibility requirements for mobile and distributed apps and services<br>
