Call for Participation
5th IEEE International Symposium on
REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING (RE'01)
August 27-31, 2001
Royal York Hotel, Toronto, Canada
http://www.re01.org/
Requirements Engineering (RE) lies at the heart of software development. RE
is concerned with identifying the purpose of a software system, and the
context in which it will be used. Hence, RE acts as the bridge between the
real world needs of users, customers, and other constituencies affected by
a software system, and the capabilities and opportunities afforded by
software-intensive technologies. RE'01 is the fifth in a biennial series of
international symposia on Requirements Engineering. The symposium will
provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to share ideas and
experiences. If you are working in the area of RE, or are just interested
in finding out more about the field, we would like to welcome you to join
us in Toronto in August 2001.

"Systematic Documentation of Requirements"
* Prof. Axel van Lamsweerde, Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium.
"Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering"
An exhibition with companies offering RE tools, services, and publications.
Three panel sessions covering hot issues in Requirements Engineering:
* "Extreme RE: What if there is no time for Requirements Engineering?"
* "Systems or Software: What should the 'S' in SRE stand for?"
