  at The 24th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC 2009)

                        Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

Overview
------------

For the past twenty-three years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary 
gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application 
developers from around the world.

The Second Edition of the Requirements Engineering Track (RE-Track'09) is part of the 24th ACM 
Symposium on Applied Computing. SAC 2009 is hosted by University of Hawaii at Manoa and Chaminade 
University of Honolulu. Further details may be found at: http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009/.

Requirement Engineering is defined as the branch of software engineering concerned with the real-world goals for, functions of, 
and constraints on software systems; it is also concerned with the relationship of these factors to precise specifications of software 
behaviour and to their evolution over time and across software families. 
Requirements engineering is increasingly recognized as a critically important activity in any systems engineering process. 
The arising of complex software applications in multidisciplinary domains, the speed with which they need to be developed, 
and the degree to which they are expected to change, all play a role in determining how the systems development process should be conducted.
 Independently of the nature of the software, the elicitation, analysis, negotiation, specification, validation and management of requirements 
are fundamental for the development of quality in complex software. Only by fully understanding stakeholders' needs, and documenting them in a concise, 
and unambiguous way, can   consistently deliver quality products designed to meet the complexities of our advanced information society.

The objective of this track is to explore different advances in requirement engineering in a general way, its relation with different areas, 
reducing the gap between software engineering solutions and the way one specific domain of knowledge was seen up to given point.   

------------
TOPICS
------------

These are the main areas of concern in Requirements Engineering: 
* Requirements Engineering for Scientific Areas
* Requirements elicitation, analysis, documentation
* Requirements specification languages, methods, processes, and tools
* Requirements management, traceability, viewpoints
* Modelling of requirements, goals, and domains
* Non-functional requirements
* Requirements engineering and software architecture
* Aspect-oriented requirements engineering
* Agent-oriented requirements engineering
* Requirements for COTS-based systems
* Case studies and experiences based on requirements engineering
* Social, cultural, and cognitive factors in requirements engineering
* Requirements engineering: education and Training
* Requirements and Simulation 
* Requirements and Autonomic Systems

------------
PAPER SUBMISSION
------------

Authors are invited to submit original papers in all areas of Requirement Engineering. 

The program committee will blindly review submissions to that track. The author(s) name(s) and
 address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third 
person. This is to facilitate blind review. The paper should not exceed 5 pages in ACM format. 
Please note that the maximum page length for the conference is 5 pages (without extra-fee), 8 is the maximum (with extra-fee). 

Submissions should be printable on a standard printer on common paper formats, such as US letter 
and A4. Papers should not be submitted to more than one ACM-SAC track.

Paper submissions should be done electronically through the website http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2009.
 In case of any submission problems contact Jeff Allen at jallen@cs.iupui.edu. 
Further information may be found at: 
http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009/.

Authors should also send a message to maria@dsc.upe.br, with the subject "PAPER SUBMISSION RE-ACMSAC09" 
with the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the contact address 
(including e-mail, telephone, and fax).
