Ready-set-transfer! Technology transfer in the requirements engineering domain

The primary goal of requirements engineering research is to propose, develop, and validate effective solutions for important practical problems. However practice has shown that successful projects often take from 20-25 years to reach the stage of full industry adoption, while many other projects fizzle out and never advance beyond the initial research phase. In this interactive panel, teams of researchers representing several different requirements engineering research areas, bring ideas for technology transfer to a panel of industrial and government practitioners. The teams proceed through a series of interactive presentations and receive feedback from panelists. Underlying the game-show genre of the panel is the more serious goal to foster conversation between practitioners and researchers in order to improve the effectiveness of technology transfer in the requirements engineering community.
