Workshop Description

The Fourth International Requirements Engineering for High-Assurance Systems Workshop (RHAS’05 - Paris) is a one day workshop that addresses the special challenges of engineering the requirements of software-intensive systems, the performance and dependability of which is mission critical. For such systems, it is thus critically important that requirements engineers must collaborate with specialty engineers to proper engineer both:

  • Performance requirements (e.g., jitter, latency, response time, schedulability, and throughput)
  • Dependability requirements (e.g., defensibility, operational availability, predictability, reliability, robustness, safety, security, stability, and survivability)

Position papers will be submitted and reviewed prior to the conference, and published for the conference if accepted. During the morning of the workshops, authors of accepted position papers will present a brief summary of their papers. During the afternoon of the workshop, the attendees will work in a collaborative setting to:

  • Identify and explore important challenges and risks
  • Propose, formulate, and evaluate promising solutions

Workshop Goals

The workshop goals were to bring together in a small focused working group practitioners, consultants, and researchers to:

  • Exchange ideas and their experiences concerning the engineering of performance and dependability requirements
  • Identify and explore important challenges and risks
  • Propose, formulate, and evaluate promising solutions
  • Identify open research problems
