UKSMA Autumn Conference
7 September 2018 in London
Requirements and Measurement

Call for Papers

This conference focuses on perhaps the most important item, the Statements of Requirements (SOR). The SOR can of course take many forms to satisfy the needs of various stakeholders. The aim is to explore the forms requirements take, the stakeholder needs they are designed to address, and the measurement required to extract and present the information.

The conference affords the opportunity to share experiences, ideas, academic papers, case studies, and strategies for defining requirements at various stages (e.g. procurement, development, test, support) , extracting the information the stakeholders need at each stage; analyzing the information and presenting to enable them to make decisions;
We are looking for submissions that will help give attendees practical views, ideas and experience in the ‘how to do’ as well as the ‘what to do’. The scope of the conference and the topics to be covered are given below; however we will consider submissions closely related submissions.
