The 6th International Workshop on Crowd-Based Requirements Engineering (CrowdRE'22)

Overview

The rise of mobile, social, cloud, and crowd-sourcing applications requires Requirements Engineering (RE) to adapt. The traditional methods of RE are very inefficient in situations involving thousands to millions of current and potential users of a (software) product. The crowd is an interesting source for RE because it produces user feedback in texts and usage data. Being able to respond quickly, effectively, and iteratively to the requirements, problems, wishes, and needs identified in user feedback can increase a product’s success. Crowd-Based RE (CrowdRE) seeks to provide RE with suitable means for this crowd paradigm.

The Sixth Workshop on Crowd-Based Requirements Engineering (CrowdRE’22) focuses on Motivation of Users in CrowdRE, and on CrowdRE and Human Values

CrowdRE’22 builds on the successes of its previous editions, which unified the visions into a coherent RE approach (CrowdRE’15), established a roadmap and shared resources (CrowdRE’17), strengthened relationships to artificial intelligence techniques (CrowdRE as special focal topic of AIRE’18), redefined its scope (CrowdRE’19), expanded into digital transformation territory (CrowdRE’20), and strengthened the interface between CrowdRE and industry practice, especially in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic (CrowdRE’21).

Keynote Speaker: Walid Maalej

Abstract: In this talk, Walid Maalej reflects with the CrowdRE community the main research achievements of the last decade and discuss the perpetual challenges of using CrowdRE in real projects.

Bio: Walid Maalej is a professor for informatics and chair for applied software technology at the University of Hamburg, Germany. Currently he is also the Head of the Informatics Department, a member of the Board of Directors of the tech transfer institute HITeC e.V, and the steering committee chair of the IEEE RE conference series. His main research interests includes human- and data- centred software engineering, requirements engineering, feedback systems and crowdsourcing, user innovation, applied machine learning, as well as tech transfer.
