Call for Posters.docx

Call for Posters:
Requirements Engineering (RE) is a dominant factor that influences the quality of software, systems and services.
The REFSQ working conference series is well established as one of the leading international forums for discussing
RE and its many relations to quality.
REFSQ'15 has invited submissions on any aspect of RE. We encourage researchers and practitioners from the
research fields of RE, Software Engineering, Information Systems, Service Science and Embedded Systems to
present original work. “I heard it first at REFSQ” has been chosen as the special theme for REFSQ'15, to promote a
discussion on new views on RE and thus contributing to lay the ground for future research and practice
improvements.
This year, REFSQ will feature posters, in order to provide a forum for researchers to present their most recent work
and obtain early feedback on ongoing research. Posters may cover any topic in scope of the conference. They
should present (progress towards) a scientific result and should not be advertisements for commercial products.
While posters need not describe completed work, they should at least present some preliminary results.
Poster Submission Instructions
Poster proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file with no more than 2 pages. The two pages shall contain an
abstract describing the research content of the poster, along with the title, authors, institutional affiliations and
electronic contact information.
Submissions will be considered by REFSQ'15 poster chairs and REFSQ’15 poster PC members. Selected proposals
will be published as two-page extended abstracts in the Post-Conference Proceedings for the REFSQ'15
Workshops, Doctoral Symposium, Empirical Fair, Industrial Track etc.
Poster proposals must follow the Springer LNCS format at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0164-6-793341-0 and will be published in the Joint Proceedings of REFSQ-2015 Workshops, Doctoral Symposium,
Research Methodology Track, and Posters at CEUR. Abstracts that exceed the limit of 2 pages may be rejected
without review.
Papers must be submitted through EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=refsq15posters.
Important Dates
Abstract Submission: January, 16th, 2015

Poster Presentation
In addition to the poster session, the posters will be on display in the coffee hall outside the REFSQ'15 lecture
rooms. The poster dimension will normally be A0. Well-crafted posters will present the work well by themselves,
but authors of posters are encouraged to be available to describe and discuss their work duringe coffee breath. At
least one of the poster authors must be registered at the conference and present the poster. There will also be
brief and informal presentations of the posters.
