These days, stakeholders are interested in sociotechnical systems (STS), where technology in an integrated way supports interactions, behaviors, and knowledge management by humans. STS are systems that are built to aid humans in specific human tasks, and consider and complement human skills and are monitored for performance in terms of benefits they offer for humans. Such STS cannot any more be divided into systems and their external users but should rather be addressed as mixed initiative systems where the computer or the human can take initiative, monitor events, decide what to do next, and perform tasks. The designing of STS calls for holistic methods of eliciting and representing requirements.

The motivation for this workshop stems from the need for dedicated and holistic methods of engineering requirements for sociotechnical systems. Holistic requirements engineering means, among other things, that the system to be designed should be viewed through complementary lenses of the social, informational, and behavioral context of the software system to be introduced. To meet the need, the International Workshop on Requirements Engineering for Sociotechnical Systems aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the fields of human-computer interaction, requirements engineering, machine learning, natural language processing and software engineering, as well as attract interdisciplinary research communities in psychology and social sciences.

The Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to

• Requirements elicitation for STS

• Requirements modeling for STS

• Accountability in requirements of STS

• Emotional (affective) requirements of STS

• Mining social networking services for requirements of STS

• Mapping requirements of STS to the architecture

• Psychological and behavioral factors in requirements engineering for STS

• Requirements engineering for digital ecosystems

• Requirements engineering for mixed-initiative systems

• Requirements engineering for explainable AI

• Requirements engineering for business process management systems

• Requirements engineering for STS in an agile context

• Requirements engineering for STS in particular areas, such as

  • healthcare systems

  • crisis management systems

  • information security management systems

  • e-learning systems

  • privacy enhancing technologies

  • knowledge management systems

All papers should be submitted through the EasyChair system.

We invite authors to submit original and unpublished work. The full paper should be 4~8 pages, and the extended abstract should be around 1-2 pages and will be presented as a poster (A1 size). All submissions should be in the PDF format. The workshop proceedings will be published at CEUR-WS, which is usually indexed by DBLP, being the world's most comprehensive open Computer Science Bibliography, and by SCOPUS.

Each paper will be peer-reviewed. Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair system through the https://easychair.org/cfp/RESOSY_2021 link. Please follow the IEEE format for your manuscript.
