The call for tutorial proposals is closed. Information on the accepted tutorials can be found here.

The 23rd IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE'15) tutorial program will highlight tutorials on a variety of requirements-related topics of interest to industry, academic, and government to help attendees increase their knowledge, skills, and awareness of established and emerging requirements engineering practices. Tutorial attendees can expect to leave a tutorial with new ideas and skills applicable to their profession or research area.

We invite you to submit proposals for full day (7-hour) or half-day (3.5-hour) tutorials. In addition to the topics listed below, we welcome proposals on any topic in requirements engineering and business requirements analysis.

Please see the formatting and submission guidelines below when preparing a proposal.

• Requirements engineering in agile development processes, in service-oriented environments, and in cloud computing contexts
• Software product management (including topics such as requirements valuation, road-mapping, release planning, product life-cycle management as it pertains to requirements)

Formatting and Content Guidelines

Tutorial proposals must not exceed four pages in length, and must be submitted electronically in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Proposals should contain the following seven sections as titled and answer these questions clearly:

1. Title and abstract
   • If the proposal is accepted, these items will appear in advertisements and on the conference website.

   • If your tutorial is accepted, then this description will be used as early publicity for the tutorial.
3. Format and Services
   • Full day (7-hour) or half-day (3.5-hour).
   • Outline of topics.
   • Number and type of interactive activities for tutorial attendees.
   • What special services are needed? Standard services include a room, projector and a student volunteer to assist with the room.
4. Target Audience
   • What type of background should the tutorial attendees have?
   • What is the range of attendees desired for the tutorial (minimum and maximum)?
5. Tutorial History
   • Have you offered this tutorial before? If so, please provide a history of the venues, dates, and approximate attendance numbers.
6. Presenters' Bios
   • Provide the name and a brief (2-3 sentence) biography for each of the tutorial presenters that highlights their qualifications with respect to the tutorial.
