The 15th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE'07) is extending the traditional poster session to promote more interaction and discussion amongst conference participants. The intention is for conference participants to be able to mingle with a variety of poster presenters, tool demonstrators, practitioners of techniques and producers of artefacts, and interact with their work.
Contributions
We are currently inviting submissions of high-quality extended abstracts and sample posters that clearly emphasize interaction potential and explain how an engaging participant experience will be provided.
Research / Exhibit Posters present late-breaking research or work in progress.
We particularly encourage the submission of posters that are augmented with:
- Video samples from ethnographic studies;
- Examples of the use of rich media in Requirements Engineering, including requirements visualizations, multimedia requirements documents, scenarios, storyboards and vision/concept materials.
We also seek proposals from research teams who would like to run interactive sessions during the poster session. These sessions may take one of the following forms:
- An experiment or role-playing exercise to demonstrate techniques or tools in Requirements Engineering during the poster session;
- The interactive exploration of a problem space during the poster session;
- The hands-on use of emerging research techniques (e.g. how to do i* modeling) during the poster session;
- Sharing successful approaches to the teaching and training of Requirements Engineering topics.
Tool Demo Posters provide the opportunity for research teams to demonstrate their research prototypes or tools.
We seek proposals that explicitly give the audience the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with these research technologies or interactively demonstrate how to use popular requirements engineering tools, e.g. participants may try out the tools in an experiment-like and role-playing setting.
Note that we also require a poster display for any proposed experiements or demonstrations. We believe that the poster can help attract interest and give a rapid overview of what your experiment or demonstration is all about.
Submission Process
Poster authors are invited to submit original proposals describing work and results that have not been submitted for review or published elsewhere. Demo proposals should describe tools, techniques or methods of Requirements Engineering, including references, contributions, and how the work relates to other industrial or research effort.
Authors are expected to submit both an extended abstract and a poster. They should be in English and submitted in PDF format.
- The extended abstracts have to conform to the IEEE CS Press Proceedings format (see http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm) and must not exceed 2 pages.
- The poster is a one page document. It is submitted in A4 format but will be presented at the conference in A0 format. Guidelines on how to make "good" posters have kindly been prvided by EPFL (G. Regev, A. Oberlin, G. Pécoud and A. Wegmann). Note that we do not enforce the poster template.
Submission of video files should include the zipped file of the video (actual video files are not accepted in the submission system). Authors should also contact the organizers and provide information on which viewers are needed and location where they can be downloaded for free.
Submissions of both the extended abstract and poster is via EasyChair. Please use the following website: http://www.easychair.org/RE07PostersDemos/ to make your submission. Please note that submissions through EasyChair are limited to 10MB. Please contact the Posters, Demos and Exhibits Chairs (poster-demos-re07@manchester.ac.uk) if your poster or video submission exceeds this.
Review Process
All submitted extended abstracts and posters will be reviewed based on:
- the quality, relevance, originality, significance, and soundness of the contribution presented in the extended abstract;
- the visual and pedagogic quality of the poster;
- potential for fostering interaction with the audience.
We consider that both deliverables (extended abstract and poster) are important. The abstract is useful for people reading the proceedings. The poster is essential to carry your point to the conference's participants (your primary target). Making a poster is a superb opportunity to develop the skills for a good synthetic and "to the point" presentation.
Accepted Posters and Demonstrations
Accepted posters and demonstrations will be given space in an exhibit area during two non-parallel sessions of the main conference. Authors will have designated hours during which they are expected to be at their assigned space to present their work.
Each accepted poster and demonstration will be published in the RE'07 proceedings as a 2 page extended abstract.
At least one author must register for the conference and present the poster / demonstrate the tool at the conference.
