RE Cares is a series of RE sessions and hackathon to work with real  stakeholders to elicit and specify requirements, as well as to develop an initial design and prototype early features for a mobile app to assist field workers of Goodwill's Stand Against Violence Everyday  (SAVE) division of the Gun Violence Intervention (GVI) organization to  collect and store data when on site with a fellow/client or at an  incident site, as well as an application to support data analytics for assessing the  outcomes of the efforts of the SAVE team.

​

All RE participants are welcome to join RE Cares. We particularly encourage students to join us. Check back here as we start to post early requirements and domain descriptions.

​
Objectives
​

RE Cares is the initiative, along with the 2021 Requirements Engineering conference, intended to help society by adopting the latest software engineering research and practice as applied to important societal problems.

​

RE Cares is a new undertaking to apply our RE expertise and beyond to social issues and/or philanthropic undertakings in order to show we care and to "do good".

​
​
Workshop Format

​​

RE Cares is a "Requirements Engineering for Social Good" event designed to help an organization local to the conference venue start the process of building software for a project with a positive societal impact.  

​

​

Participants will apply their expertise in assisting to build specifications, to develop initial design, and to prototype a few features.

​
​
Beyond the Workshop: RE Cares is a Co-Located Event

​

After the Monday workshop, RE Cares will continue with a follow-on requirements elicitation session and a design session on Wednesday and an all day hackathon on Thursday.
