Goals and Themes

During GRRIP’13, we wish to highlight some of the challenges of balancing the short-term needs of addressing problems in industrial practice with the longer-term needs of advancing the state-of-the-art in requirements engineering. Towards this purpose, we want to bring together all the important stakeholders of RE to brainstorm prevalent issues with respect to the gaps in research and practice. We aim to :

• • Establish a stronger cooperation between requirements engineering and practitioners to reduce barriers

  • Identify open issues, research questions, novel approaches, and future directions in the area of RE research

  • Systematize formation of collaborative communities for a stronger and active partnership between the academia and industry

  • Explore avenues to make RE research more applicable and more responsive to practitioner’s needs and RE practice more open to adopt research outcome
