BIENVENUE À PARIS !
Welcome to RE'05, the 13th in the series of International Conferences on Requirements Engineering. The two days preceding the main RE'05 conference are filled with tutorials, workshops, and the Doctoral Consortium. There are nine half-day tutorials on topics ranging from innovation in requirements, aligning requirements with business goals, requirements modeling, and requirements for domain-specific applications. In addition, RE'05 is hosting 13 workshops, including some well-established workshops, such as SREIS, RHAS, DiSD, CERE, as well as many new workshops on emerging topics, such as context-specific requirements processes and requirements for service-oriented systems. Two of the tutorials and three of the workshops are conducted in French. From Wednesday August 31st to Friday 2nd of September, you will have the unique opportunity to sit in the amphitheatres of Sorbonne and hear the presentations of 35 carefully selected research papers arranged in twelve sessions. Paper topics include Personalized Software, Product Lines, Aligning Requirements with Business Goals, Elicitation, Requirements Management, Policy-Oriented Requirements, Modeling, Domain-Specific Requirements, Requirements Analysis, Prioritizing and Merging Requirements, Constrained Natural-Language Notations, and Goals and Nonfunctional Requirements.
The program is organized in three parallel sessions. In addition to the research-paper sessions, a series of practitioner-track sessions will take place on Thursday and Friday. Filling out the program are two mini-tutorials, a poster session, and a session with research demonstrations. Each day will start with a keynote. On Wednesday, the conference will open with Daniel Jackson from MIT talking about "Dependable Software: An Oxymoron?". On Thursday, Jean Pierre Corniou (CIO at Renault group and President of CIGREF), will talk about "The Role of Information Systems within Corporate Strategy and Management Policies". Suzanne Robertson (Atlantic Systems Guild) will speak on Friday; her keynote is titled "Exemplars for Better Requirements - Tales from the Trenches". The conference dinner on Thursday evening is organized in a unique location: the "Musée des Arts Forains" at Les Pavillons de Bercy. Situated among in the old Parisian wine warehouses, this museum presents fairground attractions that have been patiently gathered and restored by an aficionado of fairground arts: roundabouts, coconut shy, swings. You will not only see, but be able to try and play with some very beautiful antique attractions that originate from as long as two centuries ago.
Having the RE'05 conference in Paris is a golden opportunity to discover or re-discover the wonders of Paris. A city of monuments, of culture, of romanticism, of gastronomy and a city of fashion and creation, Paris lives and moves at a high pace. To help you experience Paris, we have included in your bag a visitor's kit composed of a map of the city, a copy of the "Carnet Gourmand" listing the addresses of a few restaurants that we recommend, and a booklet titled "Paris est à vous" containing essential information on sightseeing in Paris. We will be very glad to answer any of your questions on sightseeing in Paris, and we wish you a very rewarding conference and a pleasant week with us.
On behalf of the organizing committee of RE'05, we thank everyone who has supported RE'05 and who has worked hard to make this conference a success. Especially deserving of thanks are our sponsors: IEEE Computer Society, Université Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne, IAE de Paris, CFA AFIA, Centre de Calcul El Khawarizmi, FUNDP Namur, University of Waterloo, UGS, Alcatel, SQLi, Hewlett Packard, INFORSID, IBM, Datus Rhone Alpes (DRA) and Borland.

Tutorials
RE’05 offers nine tutorials on Monday August 29th and Tuesday August 30th on a variety of Requirements Engineering (RE) subjects by world-renowned experts in RE. Most of the tutorials are offered in English, one is offered in
French, and one is offered in both languages. Each tutorial occupies three hours in a single half day. In the two days, one could register for as many as four tutorials. Since workshops are happening during the same two days, one may wish to combine a workshop with two half-day tutorials. The topics range from how-to-do specific RE activities to broad overviews of RE-related subject areas.

Workshops
The series of workshops at this year’s RE conference is more extensive than ever and covers a broad range of novel and maturing aspects in the ground-breaking frontier of RE research and best practices. The list of workshops includes as many as 10 international workshops (WS1-WS10) and three co-located workshops held in French (WS11-WS13).
On Monday and Tuesday the 29th and 30th of August, you may choose from a way smorgasbord of topics ranging from methodological and process issues to specific domains and particular viewpoints. Some workshops have a long history and a solid quality reputation, while others, representing exciting new sub-disciplines, are meeting for the very first time at this conference. Whether you look for future research trends or the cutting edge of best practice, we are sure you will find many interesting ideas, solutions and
discussions. Welcome to the RE’05 workshops!!
WS1: (REET) Requirements Engineering Education and Training
This workshop focuses on curriculum development and pedagogical techniques for teaching and training RE skills, including elicitation, modeling, analysis, negotiation, specification, interviewing, and reviewing skills.
WS2: (SREP) Situational Requirements Engineering Processes - Methods, Techniques and Tools to Support Situation-Specific RE Processes
This workshop focuses on how to select, adapt, construct, and manage requirements for RE methods that best suit the situation of the project at hand.
WS3: (REProMan) Interplay of Requirements Engineering and Project Management in Software Projects
RE usually is regarded as a technical discipline and project management as a managerial activity. They are often treated separately, but in real software projects they are interrelated in many ways. This workshop focuses on benefits and risks in the interplay of RE and project management.
WS4: (REBNITA) Requirements Engineering for Business Needs and IT Alignment
It is no longer possible to consider IT separate from the business organization it supports. The goal of this workshop is to provide a specific forum for RE research that encompasses organizational business needs of an organization.
WS5: (DiSD) Distributed Software Development
This workshop focuses on effective RE in the increased globalization of software development and the challenges due to the impact of temporal, geographical and cultural differences.
WS6: (SREIS) Symposium on Requirements Engineering for Information Security
The symposium is intended to provide researchers and practitioners from various
disciplines with a highly interactive forum to discuss security and
privacy-related requirements.
WS7: (SOCCER) Service-Oriented Computing: Consequences for Engineering Requirements
The service-oriented approach is becoming more and more popular to integrate highly
heterogeneous systems. The workshop intends to provide an opportunity to share
knowledge to set appropriate theoretical foundations, define special-purpose
methodologies for requirements specification, and develop supporting
technology.
WS8: (CERE) Comparative Evaluation in Requirements Engineering
This workshop explicitly considers how to assess the contributions and validation of
different types of RE research. The goal is to produce a roadmap from theory to
application.
WS9: (REDECS) Requirements Engineering Decision Support
This workshop promotes the role of decision support
in RE. Topics include identification of problems and challenges, directions for
future research, and collaboration with management sciences and decision
theory.
WS10: (RHAS) Requirements Engineering for High-Availability Systems
This workshop addresses the special challenges of software-intensive systems where
performance and dependability are mission-critical. Topics include
defensibility, operational availability, predictability, reliability, robustness,
safety, security, stability, and survivability.
WS11: (FRU) How to Model Firms’ Requirements and Make Them Understandable by Business Directors, Information
Systems & Process Owners and IT Managers (colocated event) CANCELLED
Il est notoire que le SI se trouve au cœur des processus de production de l'entreprise ainsi
que de l'élaboration des décisions. N'est-il pas paradoxal qu'un tel pivot
échappe, en pratique, à la perception comme à la compréhension ? Il est possible de procurer à chaque
catégorie d'acteurs de l’entreprise une "vue" sur le SI adaptée à ses
besoins et capacités, fidèle au SI qu'elle représente et cohérente avec les
autres "vues".
WS12: (MEAP) Managing Enterprise Architecture Projects (colocated event)
Les projets d'urbanisme des SI cherchent à concrétiser les relations synergiques entre SI et business, en
associant modèles du business et modèles du SI. Cependant, représenter cet
alignement, bien que nécessaire, n'est pas suffisant. Pour évaluer le degré de
conformité avec la stratégie de l'entreprise, une métrique est souhaitable. Cette
représentation et cette métrique sont d'autant plus utiles que le SI comme les
enjeux stratégiques évoluent, créant ainsi le besoin de maintenir, préserver et
améliorer l'alignement.
WS13: (RHVU) Des exigences d'humanité pour les divers utilisateurs du SI (Requirements of Humaneness for the Various
IS Users) (colocated event)
Les humains s’approprient les outils et les détournent selon leurs propres buts, ils se créent leurs propres règles. L’urbanité
est un sous-ensemble de cette pratique. Elle est un mode d'échange permettant
un enrichissement mutuel. Cet atelier vise à donner la parole à ceux que l'on
n'entend jamais, des informaticiens qui mettent en place des logiciels, des
utilisateurs qui se servent des outils dans leurs activités.
