COMMUNICATION MATERIAL ON WORKSHOP PRESENTATION

SOFT WARE QUALITIES IS A WAY FOR TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE.

The Workshop on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality (REFSQ). These
was the eleventh edition of the International Workshop on Requirements Engineering: Foundation
for Software Quality (REFSQ) which took place in connection with the International Conference
on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (AISE) in the historic city of Porto, Portugal on
the 13th and 14th of June, 2005. The workshop was organized by Erik Kamsties, Vincenzo Gervasi,
and Pete Sawyer with Eric Dubois, Andreas Opdahl and Klaus Pohl serving in the REFSQ
Advisory Board. The summary gives an overview of the presentations of how the development of
software improve technological transmission to the different countries on the world. Twenty-eight
people from eleven different countries attended on workshop. The merits of Requirements
Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality were on show, there was deferent people include
Dan Berry, Sjaak Brinkkemper and Neil Maiden and students in the initial stages of their doctoral
research. Most of the participants were recently employed in industry. As usual at REFSQ, the
workshop benefited greatly from their rooted-ness in real problems. The carefully structured
discussion sessions delivered a lively workshop in which everyone participated and from which
paper authors gained real value.
In todays interconnected societies, most of our everyday life is dependent to software-intensive
systems because the need for high-quality requirements becomes more persistent, therefore
Requirements engineering (RE) is the discipline that studies the process of eliciting, negotiating,
documenting, verifying, and validating requirements, applying techniques from computer science,
psycho-social sciences, economics, and engineering for the purposes of meeting the requirements
of todays changes in technology environment. Therefore the workshop focused on interactive
detailed discussions among participants on presented papers for the purposes of generating
knowledge and skills for the better use of good quality software for the simplicity of the changing
technology to the world environment, hence through the workshop conducted on 2005, provided
successful conditions on promoting active involvement and encouraging the emergence of
innovative ideas among participants.

Workshop Structure
The long-standing REFSQ tradition is the request to presenters to start their talk with a diagram
showing the context of their work with respect to a given set of concepts. This set comprised people
or stakeholders which participate in the software development process and products (documents)
established by the process. The arrows indicated the relations between the concepts addressed by
the paper. While arrows between people indicate some kind of social interaction, an arrow between
documents describes technical and logical relationships. Arrows between people and documents
usually indicate production/usage relationship.
