Workshop topic, background and motivation
In the past five years, Requirements Engineering (RE) has been increasingly more
recognized as creative activity. This is especially true in contexts of developing sys-
tems for application areas such as game design, crowdsourcing, assistive health-care,
smart cities, and green computing. RE for those areas demands stakeholders to 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 prob-
lem-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 researchers
engaged 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’15 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 techniques.
The unique goal of the CreaRE 2015 workshop is to foster collaborative brain-
storming and exchange of knowledge on creativity-related aspects of RE. This
can also include discussing research designs for empirical studies on creativity in RE.
