The 27th International Working Conference on Requirement Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality will take place from the 12th to 15th of April 2021 as a virtual event!

Thank you all for making REFSQ 2021 such a success. Although we sadly couldn’t be together physically, your participation in this virtual edition of REFSQ made this conference very special! Thank you formMany fascinating insights, lively discussions and fresh ways of thinking! You kept the REFSQ spirit alive!

We hope that we will be able to meet again in person next year @REFSQ 2022 in Aston, Birmingham, UK. Stay tuned for further announcements and check out the preliminary call at the website.

The proceedings of the research track have been published as part of the Springer LNCS series. You can find them here. All registered participant can access them free of charge until end of April.

Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality

27th International Working Conference, REFSQ 2021, Essen, Germany, April 12–15, 2021, Proceedings

We seek contributions emphasizing the importance of human values, such as privacy and fairness, when designing software-intensive systems as well as the challenges that intelligent and autonomous systems pose due to the tight interplay with humans.

The Call for Research Papers is now online. You can find it here.

REFSQ 2021 also calls for workshops focussing on relevant topics, posters and tools, doctoral symposium submissions, and an OpenRE track. Stay tuned for further information!

The REFSQ working conference is the leading European conference series on requirements engineering. It is the goal of REFSQ to foster the creation of a strong European RE community across industry and academia. Since 1994, Requirements Engineering continued to be a dominant factor influencing the quality of software, systems and services. REFSQ seeks contributions which report on novel ideas and techniques that enhance the quality of RE’s products and processes, as well as reflections on current research. REFSQ has a long tradition of being a highly structured and interactive forum. In addition to the high-quality scientific program, REFSQ also features a highly interactive Industry Track, Workshops, Posters and Tool demos, Doctoral Symposium and a Live Study Track.
