Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field focused on the design and implementation of large and complex systems. A System-of-systems integrates a set of otherwise independent and self-contained systems that pool their resources in order to meet a common goal. Such systems include transportation systems, hospital networks, "smart" buildings, large scale defense systems, as well as systems from many other domains. Managing requirements for such projects can be extremely complex and challenging as requirements must be addressed not only for individual components, but also for the overall infrastructure, interfaces, and governance of the system. As an emerging area of research, Requirements Engineering for systems and systems-of-systems represents a critical discipline in which methodologies, thought processes, frames of reference, and technology support are still emerging. This workshop therefore invites contributions addressing issues, challenges, and solutions related to requirements engineering for such systems.
