Topics

Call for Papers ended on 11 November 2024.

These are the topics of REConf® 2025 with the motto "Next Level Requirements Engineering".

Product Innovation

Breaking down boundaries, creating opportunities

1. How can we prepare for disruptive change and use it as an opportunity for innovation and growth?
2. How can we develop effective technology roadmaps to anticipate future challenges and design innovative solutions?
3. Back to basics: “Do we really understand our customers?”
4. How can we really inspire our customers with our products?

Power Tools

The future of software tools

1. How do we migrate legacy data to new software tools?
2. How do tools support the CO2 reporting obligation from 2024?
3. How can we avoid software tool disruptions?
4. Which tools will we need in the future when there is AI?
5. What experience have we gained in introducing new tools in our organisation, and what best practices can be derived from this?

Requirements Engineering

Trends, challenges and experiences

1. How can we improve the integration of hardware, electronics and software in the development process?
2. How do we enable organisations to react more flexibly to changing requirements, also in phase-oriented or highly regulated environments?
3. How can we improve efficiency and precision in RE with AI solutions?
4. How can UX/UI requirements be effectively captured and integrated in requirements engineering to optimise the user experience?
5. Which approaches and methods can replace traditional requirements in requirements engineering and how do they improve clarity and comprehensibility?
6. What methods and approaches are there for fully taking into account and implementing non-functional requirements in requirements engineering?
7. Which experiences and practices from DevOps can be used to optimise requirements engineering and support continuous integration and delivery?

Systems Engineering

Navigating complexity - mastering dynamics

1. How can we quantify the complexity costs of our products?
2. How can regular architecture reviews help to ensure the efficiency, scalability and safety of our products?
3. What are the benefits of introducing MBSE in our organisation?
4. How can modular architectures and platforms help to improve the innovative power and efficiency of our product families?
5. How can artificial intelligence revolutionise processes in systems engineering and requirements engineering?
6. How can companies integrate sustainability into their products and organisational structures to achieve long-term environmental and economic benefits?
7. How can we quantify the “environmental footprint” of our products?

Mastering Interdisciplinarity

Efficient organisational architecture, working models and teams

1. How do we adapt organisational structures and processes to deal with increasing complexity in requirements?
2. How do we encourage collaboration between different disciplines, departments, teams and hierarchies in the development process?
3. How do we create an environment for organisations and teams that supports innovation and creative thought processes?
4. How do we facilitate effective knowledge transfer within and between teams, and what skillsets will be required for different roles and hierarchies in the future?
5. How can we measure and improve the performance of teams involved in the development process?
6. How can we successfully manage change in view of the rapid pace of change?

Programme Committee

Each year, far more topics are submitted than can be presented at REConf. In order to ensure quality, current relevance and objectivity in the selection of presentations, we have set up a programme committee. This year, we have once again been able to recruit high-profile members from science, industry, the service sector as well as corporations and medium-sized companies. They consult with each other to select those presentations for the REConf programme that meet certain quality criteria.
