RE4WEB3 2024

Requirements Engineering for Web3 systems 

International Workshop on Requirements Engineering for Web3 systems 

co-located with the 32st IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference

Reykjavik, Iceland, June 24, 2024

A new era in the decentralized internet has begun with the emergence of Web3, fundamentally changing how businesses operate, collaborate, manage assets, and engage stakeholders [1,2]. Web3 technologies, such as blockchain, decentralized applications, smart contracts, DAO, DeFi and tokenization, defined a new paradigm of decentralized software systems [3,4]. Organizations can leverage these systems with enhanced transparency, security, and user empowerment and benefit from Web3 evolution in several ways. Some of these benefits include reduced operating costs, enhanced trust, and new business models enabled by Web3 technologies [5,6]. 

Recent research on Requirements Engineering (RE) mainly focused on socio-technical aspects of centralized Web2 systems [7,8,9]. The RE4Web3 Workshop is motivated by the need to bridge the gap between traditional RE and the unique challenges posed by Web3 technologies. The conventional methods employed in RE may not comprehensively account for Web3-powered systems' ever-changing characteristics, resulting in potential drawbacks and overlooked prospects. The workshop aims to establish a connection between RE and Web3, fostering innovative approaches, collaborative insights, research strategies, and harmonious integration.

The targeted outcomes of this workshop include the identification of open research problems and the possible solutions to these problems, regarding:



RE4WEB3 2024 is aligned with the central theme of the RE'24 conference, namely Exploring New Horizons: Expanding the Frontiers of Requirements Engineering. The targeted outcomes of this workshop include therefore the identification of open research problems of interdisciplinary nature and the possible solutions to these problems, regarding:
