The ViVa RE! workshop provides a collaborative platform to explore value-oriented and responsible approaches in requirements engineering (RE). This year's workshop emphasizes ethical reasoning and social responsibility in RE research and practices. Through interactive sessions and insightful discussions, participants will:
Examine existing RE research for social and ethical relevance.
Learn and apply the Architecture Decision Map (ADM) method for ethical reasoning.
Develop a shared understanding of responsibility and value-based perspectives in RE.
We welcome contributions on (but not limited to) the following topics:
Analysis of socially responsible requirements engineering research.
Methods for engineering value-based and socially responsible systems.
Ethical reasoning approaches in requirements engineering.
Systematic categorization of value-oriented RE research.
Future directions for responsible ICT development.
...and related topics.
The workshops VivaRE and CreaRE (https://creare.iese.de/static/programme/) join forces. The shared agenda is as follows:
