How should we assess progress in Requirements Engineering research?

As a young, multi-disciplinary field, we still lack any broad consensus on appropriate research methodology and evaluation criteria. And yet we need to do comparative evaluation of our research efforts, if we wish to develop and mature as a scientific discipline. Such comparisons are also a crucial component of technology transfer.

This workshop will examine the research methods we currently use in RE, and will investigate how to improve our ability to evaluate and compare our research results.
