Title
The slow wheels of requirements engineering research: responding to the challenge of societal change
Despite the significant Requirements Engineering (RE) research efforts over the past decade the research--industry gap still remains persistent. Recent attempts by the RE research community to address this issue include cumulative knowledge studies to describe the current state of RE research and the establishment of a new conference dedicated to the comparative evaluation of RE. This paper reports the state of RE research from 2001 to 2005. A taxonomy of RE literature is presented and a conceptual framework for understanding the current state of RE is also described. The ensuing analysis shows that during the period 2001-2005 there was only an incremental development of RE research without any radical theoretical contributions to its body of knowledge. The paper also poses a challenge for the RE research community to respond to the dramatic changes in the social and business world.
