Workshop topic, background and motivation

   Requirements Engineering (RE) not only demands a systematic approach for elicit-
ing, documenting, and validating requirements, but it also is a creative activity. It
demands that stakeholders create visions of future software systems and to imagine all
their implications. Creativity techniques that have been developed and used in other
disciplines and areas of problem-solving, have the potential to be adapted and adopted
in today’s RE, becoming the foundation for innovative RE processes addressing both
problem analysis and solution design.

Goals of the workshop

   The CreaRE series of workshops brings together RE practitioners and researches
who are interested in discussing the role of creativity in RE, the array of creativity
techniques that can be applied to RE, and the ways in which creativity techniques
from other disciplines can be leveraged in RE. Drawing upon the previous workshop
editions, the intended purpose of the CREARE’14 workshop is to be a forum for the
exchange of emerging ideas, experience and research results. It also aims at raising
awareness in the RE community of the importance of creativity and creativity tech-
niques.
   The unique goal of the CreaRE 2014 workshop is to foster collaborative brain-
storming and exchange of research designs, and possibly results from studies on using
game-based techniques for RE. To this end, we plan to create a game for and with the
workshop participants, and experiment with it during the REFSQ’14 conference.


Workshop topics

  Workshop topics include, but are not restricted to:
  •   The interplay of requirements and creativity (e.g. between RE and the crea-
         tive process of game design)
  •   Theories for creativity that fit RE
  •   The application of known creativity techniques in RE activities
  •   Emerging ideas for new/adapted creativity techniques for RE activities
  •   Tool support for creativity-enhancement
  •   Context-dependency of creativity and creativity techniques
  •   Industry experiences with creativity techniques in RE
  •   Relation of creativity to innovation
  •   RE techniques that enable or support creativity
  •   Skill-sets for creativity in RE
  •   Creativity via reuse: trading off innovation and efficient production
  •   Thought reading: understanding the other perspective/ person
  •   Creativity in RE for entertainment applications (e.g. games, online learning
         systems)
