該雜志提供了一個重點，以傳播有關軟件密集型信息系統或應用程序需求的引出、表示和確認的新結果。歡迎理論和應用提交，但所有論文必須明確指出：復雜系統設計思想的實際后果反思實踐者應該如何評價這些想法該雜志的動機是多學科的觀點，不僅考慮軟件組件規范方面的要求，還考慮在組織和社會背景下開展的引出、表示和同意活動方面的要求。為此，從軟件工程、信息系統、職業社會學、認知和組織心理學、人機交互、計算機支持的合作工作、語言學和解決特定需求工程問題的哲學等領域尋求貢獻。

The journal provides a focus for the dissemination of new results about the elicitation, representation and validation of requirements of software intensive information systems or applications. Theoretical and applied submissions are welcome, but all papers must explicitly address:the practical consequences of the ideas for the design of complex systemshow the ideas should be evaluated by the reflective practitionerThe journal is motivated by a multi-disciplinary view that considers requirements not only in terms of software components specification but also in terms of activities for their elicitation, representation and agreement, carried out within an organisational and social context. To this end, contributions are sought from fields such as software engineering, information systems, occupational sociology, cognitive and organisational psychology, human-computer interaction, computer-supported cooperative work, linguistics and philosophy for work addressing specifically requirements engineering issues.
