Abstract

Requirements Engineering (RE) is a critical factor in developing high&#8211;quality and successful software, systems and services&#046; The REFSQ working conference series is a well&#8211;established international forum for discussing current and state&#8211;of&#8211;the&#8211;art RE practices, now celebrating its 24th year&#046; We are excited to hold REFSQ in Utrecht, returning to the location of the first REFSQ meeting in 1994&#046; We very much welcome participants to attend REFSQ&#8242;18 in the Netherlands&#046;<br>Working Conference Format<br>REFSQ has a long tradition of being a highly structured and interactive event&#046; Each session is organised to emphasize discussion among the presenters of papers, pre&#8211;assigned discussants, and all the other participants&#046; The REFSQ’18 program will include keynote speakers, technical papers, research previews, industrial presentations, as well as posters and tools&#046; Workshops and the REFSQ doctoral symposium will be co&#8211;located with the main conference&#046;<br>Scope<br>REFSQ 2018 seeks reports of novel ideas and techniques that enhance the quality of RE products and processes, reflections on current research and industrial RE practices, as well as new views on RE&#046; We invite submissions on any aspect of RE&#046; We encourage researchers and practitioners from the RE, software engineering, information systems, service science, embedded systems, and product management fields to present original work&#046; RE methods, tools and processes are expected to support engineering diverse types of systems of different scale and complexity and are applied in diverse domains&#046; As such, contributions from related areas such as systems engineering, economics, and management, providing insights to RE, are welcome&#046; The special theme of REFSQ’18 is "RE and Digital Transformation" to emphasize an important issue: what role can RE play in the dramatic changes that take place in our society today to innovate and design new heterogeneous systems and services to fit the needs of users and to keep values of society&#046;<br>
