RE4SuSy: 4th International workshop on requirements engineering for Sustainable systems, part of the greens alliance

Supporting sustainability has recently become a much discussed research topic and the RE4SuSy workshop series has established a strong and growing research community around the different aspects of sustainability. Software is increasingly the driver for change in business and social spheres of life: it changes life styles and business practices. Since requirements define how and what the software will do, we maintain that requirements engineering is the key point in software engineering through which sustainability can be fostered. The International Workshops on Requirements Engineering for Sustainable Systems (RE4SuSy) is concerned with research on techniques, tools, and processes for sustainability through requirements engineering. RE4SuSy is an interactive workshop: the contributors and prospective participants will engage well before the workshop date through on-line collaborative writing, discussion, and peer feedback. The workshop aims to foster community growth by supporting new collaborations, holding preliminary case studies, discussions, and continuous birds-of-a-feather group work.
