Keynote - Martin Glinz

(11:30-12:30) "Forty Years of Modeling in Requirements Engineering"
Requirements modeling in various flavors (models as RE artifacts, model-based RE, model-driven RE, etc.) has been a core part of Requirements Engineering (RE) from its very beginning: RE emerged from the idea to create languages, methods, and tools for modeling requirements. The January 1977 special issue on Requirements Analysis of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering marks the beginning of Requirements Engineering as a scientific and practical discipline. All papers in this special issue were about requirements modeling, either completely or at least to some extent.

In this talk, I will take the audience on a tour through the history of requirements modeling, from its inception to today. I do not aim at a comprehensive, systematic survey of the field, but will rather pick and present core ideas, achievements, challenges, hopes and failures from a personal perspective. In the same way, I will look at open problems and future challenges in requirements modeling.

Martin Glinz

Martin Glinz is currently in the transition of becoming a professor emeritus. Until end of July 2017, he was a full professor of Informatics at the University of Zurich (UZH). He also was the department head of the Department of Informatics at UZH from 2007-2016. His interests include requirements and software engineering - in particular modeling, validation, and quality. As an emeritus, he is continuing his activities in requirements engineering research, teaching, and services. He received a Dr. rer. nat. in Computer Science from RWTH Aachen University. Before joining the University of Zurich, he worked in industry for ten years where he was active in software and requirements engineering research, development, training, and consulting. He is on editorial boards and program committees of major journals and conferences in software and requirements engineering. He served as Program Chair of the International Requirements Engineering Conference in 2006 and as General Chair of the International Conference on Software Engineering in 2012. He also chaired the steering committee of the IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference from 2007-2009. He is a member of the International Requirements Engineering Board (IREB), where he chairs the IREB Council. In 2016, he received the ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Service Award and the IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference Lifetime Service Award.
