2nd Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Requirements Engineering & NLP Tool Showcase

Call for Papers: 2nd Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Requirements Engineering (NLP4RE'19) & NLP Tool Showcase

http://fmt.isti.cnr.it/nlp4re/

March 19th, 2019 - Essen, Germany
Co-located with REFSQ'19 (25th Anniversary)

https://refsq.org/2019/welcome/

Deadline: January 14th, 2019.

Natural language processing (NLP) has played an important role in several computer science areas, and requirements engineering (RE) is not an exception. In the last years, the advent of massive and very heterogeneous natural language (NL) RE-relevant sources, like tweets and app reviews, has attracted even more interest from the RE community.

The main goal of the NLP4RE workshop is to set up a regular meeting point for the researchers on NLP technologies in (RE) in which the advances, challenges and barriers that they encounter may be communicated, and collaborations may emerge naturally.

This year, the workshop will include a showcase of industrial NLP tools for RE, in which different tool vendors will provide demos of their tools to the attendees.

The workshop will welcome contributions in the field of theory and application of NLP technologies in RE. We also encourage contributions that highlight challenges faced by industrial practitioners when dealing with requirements expressed in NL, and faced by academics in technology transfer studies. We also encourage tool demo papers, which will complement the showcase of industrial tools.
