The document discusses managing requirements knowledge and the 2nd International Workshop on Managing Requirements Knowledge (MaRK'09). It provides an overview of the workshop agenda, topics of interest related to knowledge management in requirements engineering, statistics on country participation, and related community projects. The goal of the workshop and related research is to enhance knowledge sharing and reuse in requirements engineering through new approaches, tools, and empirical studies.

3. A Need for a New Community Managing Requirements Knowledge 1 2 3 4 Wi th the semantic web and web 2.0 a new “era” of knowledge management Other fields such as design and maintenance have been taking advantages from advancements in knowledge management Capturing and sharing tacit knowledge about requirements: Enhances reuse Supports requirement evolution Improves collaboration Current RE processes and tools do not give enough room for managing requirements knowledge Increasing distribution scale and complexity of RE activities New Challenges Promising Research Results Promising Advances in O ther Fields Status Quo in RE Why MaRK?

4. MaRK Topics of Interests Approaches for knowledge capture and sharing during requirements elicitation, specification, analysis and change management Mining requirements repositories Intelligent assistance tools such as semantic search and recommendation on requirements Context -awareness tools for supporting requirements elicitation, analysis, traceability and reuse Ontology -based requirements and traceability management Capture and maintenance of rationale information for volatile and evolving requirements Empirical studies on advantages and drawbacks of particular knowledge management approaches Applying machine learning to requirements engineering Agile and Requirements Web 2.0 techniques applied to RE Managing Requirements Knowledge
