*****************************************************************************

The Workshop on Requirements Engineering 2025 is now in its twenty-eighth edition. This series of workshops on the area started in 1998 as a meeting of the Ibero-American requirements engineering community. Thereafter, it has attracted researchers and practitioners from different countries. The WER format promotes discussion and knowledge exchange between academic and industry members. As in the last editions, it will also include main researchers and practitioners as invited keynote speakers as well as industry presentations.

TOPICS OF INTEREST*

• Requirements elicitation, analysis, documentation, management, traceability, prioritization, validation, verification, and negotiation;
• Requirements engineering education and training;
• Requirements engineering for specific software development paradigms, e.g., agent-driven, aspect-driven, model-driven, service-driven, software ecosystems, or systems-of-systems;
• Requirements engineering for specific fields, e.g., safety-critical, web-based, or mobile applications systems;
• Requirements engineering in agile methodologies;
• Requirements specification languages, methods, processes, and tools;
• Model-driven software engineering;
• Regulatory compliance.

* The topics of interest are not exhaustively listed

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions must be written in Portuguese, Spanish, or English, but the abstract must be in English in all cases. All papers must be submitted through the Easychair submission system in PDF, according to the LNCS format.
