Goal and format

The goal of the J4RE!+PwM3 workshop is to explore the role of Requirements Engineering (RE) in ensuring just software development. This workshop will unfold in three parts: (i) J4RE!+PwM3 will facilitate the presentation and discussion of relevant works addressing the topic of Justice in Requirements Engineering. (ii) Second, a participatory session will follow up with a brainstorming and first outline of a group authored article on the topic, and (iii) third, a Playing with Meanings (PwM) session will wrap up the workshop, wherein together we will introspect on the concept of justice through ontology-based group modelling games, exploring both established and experimental game and play activities for participatory sensemaking, and discussing their potential value as tools for participatory practices towards Justice for Requirements Engineering.

Topics of interest:

• Justice in Requirements Engineering

• Participatory processes and Requirements Engineering

• Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Requirements Engineering practices

• Requirements Engineering and responsible design

• Ontic justice in Requirements Engineering

• Game & Play in Requirements Engineering

Submission types:

• Short papers: 5-9 pages including references

• Full papers: 10-14 pages including references

Submissions must follow the one-column CEUR template.
