Typesetting:Camera-readybyauthor,dataconversionbyScientificPublishingServices,Chennai,India Printedonacid-freepaper SpringerispartofSpringerScience+BusinessMedia(www.springer.com) Preface Requirements engineering (RE) is a central prerequisite for developing high- quality software systems and services. The REFSQ — Requirements Engineer- ing: Foundation for Software Quality — working conference series is well estab- lished as one of the leading international fora for discussing RE and its many relations to quality. The first REFSQ took place in 1994 and, since 2010, it has been organized as a stand-alone event. REFSQ conferenceshave a long traditionfor being highlystructured and in- teractive.Eachsessionisorganizedtoprovokediscussionamongthepresentersof papers,pre-assigneddiscussants,and all the other participants.For eachpaper, timeisallocatedsothatthediscussionisatleastaslongasthepresentation.The series also highlights requirements engineering in practice by bringing together researchers,users, and practitioners in order to develop a better understanding ofthe practiceofRE,to contributeto improvedRE practice,aswellasto share knowledge and experiences. This LNCS volume contains the papers that were accepted for presentation atREFSQ2013 —the19thInternationalWorkingConferenceonRequirements Engineering:Foundation for Software Quality — that took place in Essen, Ger- many,during April8–11,2013.ForREFSQ2013,we choseInterdisciplinary RE asthespecialtheme.InadditiontogeneralpapersonREandquality,weencour- aged submissions that highlighted the interplay of RE with related disciplines such as software architecture, quality assurance, user interface design, project management, and agile software development. TheCallforPapersattracted105submissionsfromauthorsinbothindustry andacademiain29differentcountriesonallsixinhabitedcontinents.Afterelim- inating bogus and clearly out-of-scope submissions, 82 papers were sent out for reviewing, of which 35 were marked as belonging to the special theme Interdis- ciplinary RE. Each of them was evaluated carefully by at least three reviewers, before the online discussion phase, in which senior Program Committee mem- bers acted as discussion drivers for the most critical papers. Eleven members and two co-chairs also attended the Program Committee meeting in Essen on January 11 to discuss the 45 most promising submissions in even greater de- tail.TheProgramCommitteeselected28high-qualitypaperstobe presentedat REFSQ 2013: 23 full papers and five short ones. Among the full papers, there were three industrial experience reports and 20 regular research papers. Of the shortpapers,onewasaproblemstatementandfourwereresearchpreviews.The acceptance rate was thus 28% for long papers and 34% overall. The resulting program from REFSQ’2013 was organized in the following thematic sessions: RE & Architecture, Natural Language Requirements, RE & Quality, Traceability, RE & Business/Goals, RE & Software Development, RE in Practice, and Product Lines and Product Management. It thereby reflects VI Preface how RE encompasses human and organizational issues in addition to technical aspects when developing quality software systems and services. The research program also featured a keynote by Jan Bosch, a professor at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, with many years’ experience from industry. The theme of his talk was customer experimentation anditsrelationtorequirementsengineering.Theconferencealsofollowed-upthe positive experiences from earlier REFSQ conferences with a variety of activities such as a practitioner/industrial track, an empirical track including a live ex- periment and an empirical fair,a doctoralsymposium, and a poster forum with posters both from the doctoral symposium and presenting other new research. REFSQ 2013 was also associated with the following three workshops: CreaRE — the Third Workshop on Creativity in Requirements Engineer- ing, organized by Maya Daneva, Andrea Herrmann, Anne Hoffmann, and Kurt Schneider; IWSPM13 — the 7th International Workshop on Software Product Management, organized by Richard Berntsson Svensson, Inge van de Weerd, and Krzysztof Wnuk; and RePriCo13 — the 4th International Workshop on Requirements Prioritization and Communication, organizedby BenediktKrams and Sixten Schockert. We thank the members of the international Program Committee and their sub-reviewers for carefully reviewing the submitted papers. We devote special thanks to those committe members who travelled to attend the ProgramCom- mittee meeting in Essen. Your dedicated work was vital for putting together a high-quality working conference. We also thank the REFSQ Steering Commit- tee, and the other REFSQ 2013 Chairs (listed on the next page) for all their useful input to the organization process. We also thank the organizers of the associated workshops (listed above). Last, but not least, we would like to thank PALUNO at the University of Duisbug-Essen for organizing REFSQ 2013, in particular General Chair Klaus PohlandOrganizersRoxanaKlippertandTobiasKaufmann,whodealtwithall practical matters quickly and efficiently, as well as Vanessa Stricker, who is no longer formally involved in the organization after several years of service, but who nevertheless provided prompt and useful advice whenever needed.
