International Requirements Engineering Conference
The International Requirements Engineering Conference, is one of the largest annual software engineering conferences. It has an 'A' rating from the Australian Ranking of ICT Conferences and an 'A1' rating from the Brazilian ministry of education.
The RE conference originally started as two alternating biennial conferences.
- The first of these was the International Symposium on Requirements Engineering, starting in 1993.
- The second was the International Conference on Requirements Engineering, starting in 1994. In 2002, these two conference series merged under the name Joint International Requirements Engineering Conference.
