MO2RE 2027

MO2RE27 will be co-located with the Requirements Engineering for AIware workshop RAISE27

The workshop day is currently to be confirmed for Sunday 25 April, 2027. Please check after December 18, 2026 for a final date

Requirements engineering (RE) is a critical sub-field of software engineering that deals with identifying, specifying, modeling, analyzing, and validating the needs and constraints of a system. Despite the wide spectrum of activities that the requirements engineering covers, practitioners and researchers alike have often the misconception that RE is limited to writing and analyzing requirements specifications. Consequently, many researchers in the software engineering community conduct research on RE problems but do not explicitly acknowledge it. Therefore, RE is generally under-represented and under-appreciated in the SE community.

The MO2RE workshop represents an opportunity to highlight the multiple facets of RE, clarify its role within the software development process, and bring together the broader SE community where RE is involved–e.g., testing, human aspects. The workshop is a shared place to gather the SE community around RE as a central topic while also hosting contributions from other under-represented areas, closely related to RE (e.g., modelling and system architecture).

Call for Papers

We welcome submissions at the intersection of RE and other sub-fields of software engineering, including but not limited to:

• RE for Emerging Technologies (e.g., Quantum Computing)
• Human Factors of RE
• RE for Society and Sustainability
• Regulatory Compliance
• Requirements for Trustworthy Systems
• Requirements for Testing and Security
• Requirements Elicitation, Analysis and Specification
• Modeling Requirements and Systems
• Requirements Management
• Requirements Verification and Validation
• Requirements and Architecture
• RE Education and Training
• RE for responsible and ethical AI
• AI for RE and SE
• Generative-driven AI within RE
• Prompt engineering and RE

The workshop also welcomes submissions that are more specific on RE given the current advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Specifically, topics including the following:

• How RE can affect the revolution of AI towards more responsible and ethical AI.
• How AI can impact the effectivity and efficiency of RE and software engineering activities.
• Generative-driven AI within the RE spectrum

Types of submissions

MO2RE accepts the following types of papers and welcomes submissions that promotes forward-looking and innovative ideas:

Research Papers
Max 7 pages for long and 4 pages for short, including references. These papers should describe ongoing research that links RE with the entire spectrum of software engineering. Such papers can describe either a new technical solution or an empirical evaluation. Short papers present preliminary work or research previews, while long papers present more advanced, yet ongoing, studies.

Demo Papers
Max 4 pages, including references. These papers describe a tool that provides automated support in some RE activities. The demo paper should describe a plan for demonstrating the tool at the workshop.

Lightning Talks
Max 2 pages, including references. A lightning talk is a short presentation lasting up to five minutes on a related topic (we would be looking for controversial topics, industry experiences, etc). Notice that Lightning Talks will not be included in the proceedings.

Extended Abstracts
Max 5 pages, including references. An extended abstract describes a new vision/direction or preliminary results related to the workshop topics.
