4th International Workshop on Requirements Patterns

In line with the Workshop’s objectives and previous editions, RePa’14 continues to solicit requirements patterns and pattern languages that capture knowledge of requirements engineering processes and products, including but not limited to: Requirements modeling patterns Requirements engineering process/activities patterns Application/domain-specific requirements patterns Application/domain-independent requirements patterns Goal patterns Social aspect patterns Scenario patterns Workflow patterns Business patterns Problem patterns (e.g. anti-patterns, mis-use patterns, fault patterns, attack patterns) Functional requirements (FRs) patterns Non-functional requirements (NFRs) patterns Requirements to architecture/design mapping patterns At the same time, RePa’14 also welcomes papers that can bring requirements patterns closer to real world application. For such papers, topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following: Pattern recommender/retrieval tools Pattern reuse tools & processes Standards for describing and sharing patterns: Standard description templates Standard interchange formats such as XML API Standards for Repository/Tool Services Open-access knowledge repositories for patterns Pattern organisation & management Industrial case studies Experience reports Learning from other fields
