Requirements engineering digest
A weekly record of what appeared in academic requirements engineering: arXiv cs.SE, the Requirements Engineering Journal, EMSE, SoSyM, ASE, conference and workshop proceedings, and a set of authors I follow. Each entry covers seven days and lists the papers found, with the authors’ own abstracts and a link to each source.
It is a by-product of reading I do anyway, compiled and published without review, so take it as a pointer to the literature rather than as an assessment of it. It is not a survey, it claims no completeness, and a week in which nothing relevant appeared produces no entry at all.
