Links Welcome Call for Papers Committee Important Dates Programme & Slides Location Registration | Call for Papers Please note the deadline extension, now 31st July, 2009. The best papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Research and Practice in Information Technology (JRPIT) Journal of Research and Practice in Information Technology (JRPIT). People, businesses and communities need to respond to the constantly changing world. New Technologies such as Web 2.0, mobile and ubiquitous devices, virtual worlds and social networking services, are changing the way we communicate, collaborate and conduct businesses. Furthermore, the Global Financial Crisis, domestic and global politics and climate change, are amongst problems that present challenges for those who wish to take advantage of the emerging technologies. More than ever, Requirements Analysis — or Requirements Engineering in the field of Software Engineering — is an important process in the development of successful, technology-enabled solutions that meet the needs of people, businesses and communities. Under the theme of “Requirements Analysis for People, Businesses and Communities”, the 12th Australian Workshop on Requirements Engineering (AWRE’09) will continue the tradition of being a leading event in Requirements Engineering in Australia. AWRE attracts researchers and professionals from all over the world, and aims to bring together academics and practitioners from Requirements Engineering and Business Analysis to share experiences, present recent research findings, to network and to form collaborative projects. This year, AWRE is collaborating with the Australia Chapter of the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®), an independent non-profit professional association serving the growing community of Business Analysts. IIBA® works to develop recognition of the value of the Business Analysis, and seeks to provide forums for knowledge sharing and contribution to the profession. Whether it is called, Requirements Engineering, Requirements Analysis or Business Analysis, IIBA® seeks to assist practitioners do a better job. AWRE'09 is a one day event on the 2nd October, at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). The workshop will consist of a single track combining research papers and industry presentations, a keynote by a Professor Paul Swatman, and finishes with a simulating discussion panel. Participants from industry and academia are invited to submit papers. To ensure a high quality workshop programme, all submissions will be reviewed by the Programme Committee. However, participants may indicate whether they would like to have their paper fully refereed (double blind reviews) or submit for presentation only.

| AWRE'09 Invites the Following Types of Contributions - Research papers: Authors should present research objective/question and results clearly. They should indicate the research method used as well as the significance of the contribution to the field.
- Experience papers: Authors should present a significant experience and lessons learned clearly. Examples of experience papers are a success or failure report about the transfer of known research results to evaluate or improve current practice. Papers that describe current practices and rationale could also be categorised as experience papers.
- Presentations (without fully written papers): Speakers can present their work without a paper. Only an abstract will be printed in the proceedings. Please submit an extended abstract for review.
- Proposals for discussion panel: The proposal should contain a 200-word abstract, which outlines the panel topic, its significance, the structure and content, and should be accompanied by the full names and affiliations of the proposed panel chairperson and each of the panellists.
Paper Submission - Format papers using the IEEE 8.5" x 11", Two-Column Format — see this page on the IEEE site
- Submission of papers is via the EasyChair Conference System
