IEEE International Workshop on Requirements Engineering For Services (REFS)
To be organized in conjunction with the 32nd Annual IEEE International
Computer Software and applications Conference (COMPSAC 2008)
Turku, Finland, July 28 August 1, 2008

Full Paper Submission: March 1, 2008

1. Motivation
Service orientation is rapidly emerging as the leading network computing
paradigm. At the same time, services have become the dominant form of
economic activity and increasingly the basis for socio-economic
organization. The commonalities and synergies among service concepts across
the levels of IT infrastructure and business and social organization will
lead to powerful innovations and new developments, triggering a call to
establish a new discipline of “Services Science, Management, and
Engineering (SSME)”, in which many challenging issues are yet to be addressed.
Requirements engineering (RE) has emerged as a critical area in software
and systems engineering, as many systems fail due to poorly understood,
ill-defined or ill-conceived requirements. Much of the same concepts and
techniques could potentially be applied to services, with the benefit of
systematic methods and scientific inquiry. However, service orientation
introduces many new challenges. Service providers and service users
interact much more closely. Knowledge is created and exchanged among
customers and suppliers. Instead of a single set of requirements on a
technical system, there are networks of providers and users, each with
requirements and expectations on each other some based on tacit social
conventions, and each with requirements on their technical IT systems.
Service design and operation often proceed in parallel, as new knowledge
and experiences are incorporated into service systems and processes on an
ongoing basis. Automated processes are richly interwoven with human action,
decision, and judgment. Some of the interactions will adhere to open
standards, while others may be informally negotiated. There are highly
dynamic on-the-fly network configurations as well as long-term stable
relationships.
To continue the on-going discussions from the REFS 2007 workshop amongst
active researchers and practitioners all over the world, we expect to
gather more enthusiastic participants this year in Finland, who will take
the opportunity to share their knowledge by giving formal presentation,
open discussion in panel, or in intensive informal discussion to develop
new ideas, new strategies and new productive networks on topics relevant to
requirements for services. Such as: What existing and new requirements
engineering methods and techniques are suitable for a service oriented
environment? What adaptations, extensions or re-conceptualizations will be
needed? How can requirements engineering contribute to a new discipline of
services science, management, and engineering? Will service orientation
lead to a rethinking of the field of requirements engineering? These are
some of the key questions explored at this workshop.
2. Scope of the Workshop
The workshop aims to provide a forum for a highly interactive and
in-depth discussion of all issues related to requirements engineering for
services. We invite contributions from researchers and practitioners on a
wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Service requirements models and descriptions
- Service requirements identification, elicitation, and acquisition
- Service requirements communication, negotiation, and validation
- Service requirements analysis and design methods
- Service engineering and management processes
- Knowledge engineering and management for Services
- Service ontologies, metrics, and benchmarks
- Service design, management and manufacturing
- QoS modeling and evaluation frameworks
- Trust, delegation, and negotiation models for services
- Security, privacy, and safety for services
- Services related architecture Web Service Architecture,
Service-Oriented Architecture
- Service enabling technologies
- RE techniques for business process redesign
- RE techniques for business model and value analysis
- RE techniques for services discovery and composition
- RE techniques for service quality
- Conceptual modeling for services management and engineering
- Empirical evaluation of RE for services
- Conceptual frameworks for RE and Services
- RE techniques for aligning business services and computational services
- RE techniques for Service-Oriented Computing & Service-Oriented
Architecture
- RE techniques for adaptiveness and agility in services
- RE techniques for socio-technical analysis and design of services
- Services and requirements engineering for pervasive computing and
ambient intelligence
- RE and SSME techniques for user experience
- RE and SSME techniques for lifecycle management
3. Likely participants:
REFS 2008 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested
in studying requirements-related issues in the broad context of
service-related problems. Participants will include academics and industry
practitioners in RE, SE and services.

6. Submission of papers:
Papers must be submitted electronically via the submission linked from
http://conferences.computer.org/compsac/2008/workshops/. Please follow the
instructions posted on the web site. The format of submitted papers should
follow the guidelines for IEEE conference proceedings before the submission
deadline March 1, 2008.
Accepted papers or fast abstracts will be published in the workshop
proceedings of the 32nd IEEE Computer Software and Applications Conference
(COMPSAC 2008). It should be noted that all IEEE COMPSAC conference
proceedings are published by IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing
Services (CPS). All CPS Publications are captured in the online IEEE
Digital Library, and professionally indexed through INSPEC and EI Index
(Elsevier's Engineering Information Index).
All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers
will be accepted (and can be submitted) as either regular papers, short
papers, or fast abstracts. Acceptance and final category depends on
reviewer’s feedback.
At least one of the authors of each accepted paper or fast abstract must
register as a full participant of the workshop to have the paper or fast
abstract published in the proceedings. The authors of a number of selected
papers of special merit will be invited to submit a revised and extended
version of their papers for possible publication in a special issue in a
Journal which is to be determined.
7. Proposed duration and format:
1 day workshop, 4 sessions
- Invited keynote talk(s)
- Full research papers (max 6 pages, IEEE format)
- Short/position papers research-in-progress, industrial experience,
problem description (2-4 pages)
