Welcome Message

Dear participant,

Welcome to the 24th International Working Conference on Requirements Engineering:

Foundation for Software Quality. We are excited to return to the location of the first REFSQ

meeting in 1994. Over the years, REFSQ established itself as a premier international

conference series on requirements engineering (RE), located in Europe.

RE is a critical factor in developing high-quality and successful software, systems, and

services. RE is expected to support engineering diverse types of systems of different scale

and complexity such as information systems, embedded systems, mobile systems, and

cyber-physical systems.

We chose “RE and Digital Transformation” as the REFSQ 2018 special theme, to emphasize

the role RE can play in our society today to innovate and design new heterogeneous

systems and services that fit the needs of users and align with societal values.

Utrecht is the heart of the Netherlands, a city full of vitality. The historical city center is

small enough to explore on foot but large enough to enjoy world class festivals, modern

architecture, trendy shops, and interesting museums. Tourist attractions include the Dom

Tower, the Oudegracht canal, the railway museum, and the botanic gardens.

Utrecht University (Universiteit Utrecht) was founded in 1636 and has evolved into a

modern and leading institution with a growing international reputation. The 2017

Shanghai Ranking ranks the university 47th worldwide. The university offers its 30,000

students 49 undergraduate and 147 graduate programmes.

REFSQ 2018 is organized as a three-day symposium held on 20-22 March 2018. Two

conference days (Tue 20/3 and Thu 22/3) are devoted to presentation and discussion of

scientific papers. On Tuesday, our keynote speaker Prof. Tanja Vos from Open Universiteit

(Netherlands) and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain) will confront us with the

provoking question “Testing without requirements?”

Wed 21/3 is devoted to presentation and discussion of industry experiences. This Industry

Track offers an industrial keynote by Dr. Michiel van Genuchten (VitalHealth Software)

titled “No free lunch for software after all”, followed by a full day program of talks and a

world café session at the end in which industry practitioners will discuss the issues of

industrial requirements engineering with the RE researchers.

In addition, the REFSQ 2018 conference program includes two live studies (Tue 20/3 and

Wed 21/3), and posters and tool presentations (Tue 20/3).

5

Several satellite events precede the main conference on Mon 19/3. Besides a doctoral

symposium for early-stage researchers, there are five workshops on different facets of the

RE discipline such as creativity, inclusiveness, natural language, continuous RE, and

requirements for self-driving guidance software. Finally, a mini RE-hackathon on defining

requirements for an app for disaster management.

We are grateful for the help provided by all the chairs (research methodology, workshops,

posters & tools, doctoral symposium, industry track, social media & publicity, proceedings,

website) along the journey. We thank the members of the program committee, steering

committee, and background organization for their invaluable support in establishing the

program. Finally, we are indebted to all those who are voluntarily assisting us in the local

organization team.

We wish you to get the best out of REFSQ 2018 as a stimulating environment where

research meets with industrial needs, and we hope you will enjoy your stay in the heart of

the Netherlands!

Keynotes

Research Keynote – Tanja Vos

Testing without Requirements?

Good requirements are the basis for high quality software. However, in industrial practice,

the availability of decent requirements is still more an exception than common practice.

One of the activities, the quality of which depends highly on requirements, is testing.

Testing software systems without requirements can lead to unstructured testing that

cannot give good insights into the quality of the System Under Test (SUT). We propose a

completely different way of testing that starts from having no requirements documented

and will build up a test-suite and requirements while we test. For this we will present

TESTAR, a tool for automated testing at the user interface level. TESTAR is different from

existing approaches for testing at the user interface in that it does not need scripts nor

does it generate scripts. TESTAR just tests on the fly looking for faults. TESTAR has

predefined oracles that can automatically test general-purpose system requirements. To

make TESTAR test specific requirements we need to refine these oracles and direct the

tests. This can be done incrementally while we are already testing! In the keynote we will

describe this approach and explain the future need of a test tool that learns itself what the

best strategy is for testing.

Prof. Dr. Tanja Vos is a full professor at the Open University (Netherlands)

and an associate professor at the Universitat Politècnica de València

(Spain). For over 20 years, she has been teaching and researching in the

area of software testing. She has worked with many companies on

automated testing projects in an industrial setting. She is currently project

lead for the TESTAR.org approach for automated testing at the Graphical User Interface

level. Tanja has successfully coordinated EU-funded projects (FITTEST, EvoTest) related to

software testing and has been involved in various Erasmus and Leonardo initiatives that

try to help business understand academia and vice versa. She started the Software Testing

Innovation Alliance in Spain and is now involved in the European Alliance. She is also part

of the Dutch consortium of the ITEA TESTOMAT project that started this year. A project

that will research and develop in the coming three years the next level of test automation.

Industry Keynote - Michiel van Genuchten

No Free Lunch for Software After All

The impact of software on products, industries and society is significant. Software put the

computer industry upside down in the 1990s. Mobile phones followed in the first decade

of this century. Medtech, the car industry and the financial industry are changing rapidly

as we speak. The talk is based on the personal experience of the presenter in various

industries and the 40 columns that have been published in ‘Impact’ in IEEE Software.

Insiders from companies such as Microsoft, Oracle, NASA, Hitachi, Tomtom and ASML have

discussed the impact of software on their products and industries in the columns. Lessons

learned include that software keeps growing at a surprisingly steady rate and volume

(number of users of the software) is the key to success. A more sobering lesson is that

software can easily be turned into a weapon of mass deceit, as has been proven by

spammers, phishers, and an automobile company. The lessons learned are applied to

better understand the requirements engineering and quality we need to create the

software of the future. A couple of questions to be discussed: will we ever be able to

engineer requirements and build proper roadmaps for future products? Is the quality we

can achieve good enough for the applications we build? What foundations are needed for

the next generation of software systems and where can science contribute?

Dr. Michiel van Genuchten is COO of VitalHealth Software since 2013.

VitalHealth is a leading provider of cloud-based population health

management solutions for the delivery of personalized care outside of the

hospital, for example, in regional care networks that was acquired by

Philips in December, 2017. He has been managing software teams and

software businesses for over 25 years. Michiel has previously worked for companies such

as Philips Electronics in The Netherlands and Straumann in Switzerland. Since 2010 he and

Les Hatton run ‘Impact’; a series of columns in IEEE Software on the Impact of software on

different industries and society.

Social Events

Welcome Reception (March 20)

The welcome reception provides a great

opportunity to discuss with the attendees, share

ideas, and establish connections. It will take place

on Tue 20/3 at the Colour Kitchen Zuilen. The

Colour Kitchen Zuilen also hosts the conference,

so there is no need to move around, just stay at

the venue after the sessions! We will enjoy a

memorable evening: a walking lunch with drinks

surrounded with the amazing REFSQ community.

City Tour + Gala Dinner (March 21)

A city tour will precede the dinner. The default

option is a 1-hour guided city walk of the city hot

spots, starting at 18.15 in front of Oudaen.

However, if you wish to explore the green outskirts

of the city, you can join a special tour guided by

Fabiano Dalpiaz starting from the Café of the

Colour Kitchen right after the sessions at 17.40.

We will then gather at Stadskasteel Oudaen at

19.30 for the gala dinner of the conference.

Stadskasteel Oudaen is where the old meets the

new, right at the center of Utrecht. Located by the

beautiful Oudegracht (old canal), this historic

tower house is a part of Utrecht since the 13th

century. After dinner, we will move to the cellar of

Oudaen and enjoy the beers from their own

brewery!

25

Venue

REFSQ 2018 is hosted at the Colour Kitchen Zuilen, a complex that brings together classic

and modern architecture, art, and sustainable delicious food. The venue is located in the

Zuilen district of Utrecht. Plenary sessions are held in the Zimihc Theater. The second room

for the parallel sessions will be the Christinazaal, featuring wide windows and daylight. We

will have room for coffee and standing lunch breaks at the Zimihc Foyer. Seated lunch is

possible at the bar (café) and the restaurant.
