Subject: RE'23 Call for Papers and Contributions - 31st IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference

*** RE 2023 - The 31st IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference ***
    
    September 4-8, 2022 in Hannover, Germany
    
** Visit the official website: https://conf.researchr.org/home/RE-2023

RE’23 welcomes original papers focusing on the traditional RE topics; however, this year’s edition would like to also 
invite submissions on the theme: “Redefining RE: Challenging RE Perceptions, Boundaries, and Topics”. With this 
theme, the RE’23 organizers ask the RE community to challenge their notion of what is and is not included as part 
of requirements engineering, and how these boundaries affect successful buy-in and application of RE research in 
industry. With this theme, we encourage submissions to:
- Challenge the boundaries of requirements engineering: given the changing landscape and paradigms of software 
and system developing, including the pervasiveness of agile methods and the rise in AI and machine learning, as 
well as cyber-physical and embedded systems, what sorts of problems and topics will be in the scope of RE in the 
years to come? What topics are out of scope? How do we maintain our identity as a community and continue to 
utilize our expertise while adapting to new needs and ways of working?
- Propose new theories, topics and methods, or a revision of existing RE topics: these may be needed to address the 
changing landscape of software and systems development. This may include new or revised theories, novel topics, 
new collaborations, increased transdisciplinarity, new tactics or topics for education and for revising the industrial 
perception of requirements engineering.
