RE-Vote09
CALL FOR PAPERS
    First International Workshop on
    Requirements Engineering for E-voting Systems
    Held in conjunction with the 17th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference
Atlanta, Georgia, USA Monday 31st August 2009
The RE-VOTE09 workshop proposes to identify best-practice for the engineering of e-voting system requirements, and to improve the specification of e-voting system standards and accreditation (certification) processes.

PLANNED TOPICS
  • Empirical analysis concerning the impact of poorly specified requirements on current e-voting technology.
  • The role of formal methods in specification and verification of system properties, with particular interest in security, verifiability and anonymity.
  • Improving communication (co-ordination) processes between the main participants in the specification and use of e-voting system requirements: the standards bodies, the procurement offices, the manufacturers, the testing/accreditation authorities and the users (election administrators and voters).
  • Requirements Maintenance, Domain Engineering & (Software) Product Lines.
  • Analysis of voting requirements documents and requirements capture processes, including those that pre-date e-voting.
  • What other domains can learn from the e-voting experience

SUBMISSIONS

Submissions are welcome on any subject that falls within the main issues. Submissions must be solely the work of the author(s) stated, and must not have been previously published elsewhere. Submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee for relevance to the workshop topics of interest.

  • Short/Position papers (3-5 pages): We are particularly interested in papers concerning the role of requirements models in the process of e-voting system procurement, development, evaluation and deployment.
  • Full/Research papers (8-10 pages): We are particularly interested in experience reports, empirical studies and reports on engineering advances.

RE’09 workshop proceedings will be published online in the IEEE CS Digital Library. Please use the IEEE template as per the main RE-09 conference for your submission (formatted according to the 8.5x11 inch IEEE CS proceedings format). For downloading instructions and templates, go to the Author Forms web page of the IEEE Computer Society.

Prospective authors are invited to submit high quality papers written in English via the EasyChair submission system at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=revote09. One author of an accepted paper is required to register for the RE-VOTE09 workshop, otherwise the paper may be withdrawn.
