Welcome to the Eighth International Workshop on Crowd-Based Requirements Engineering (CrowdRE'24)

Welcome to the 8th International Workshop on Crowd-Based Requirements Engineering (CrowdRE'24), where scientists and representatives engage in interactive discussions to analyze the state-of-the-art Crowd-Based Requirements Engineering (CrowdRE) and to inspire each other in ways to move forward together. The discipline of CrowdRE seeks to address the challenges of traditional requirements engineering (RE) in scaling up to settings with thousands to millions of users of (software) products or (software-driven) services, who form a large and heterogeneous group that can be denoted as a 'crowd' [1], [2]. The online user feedback generated by the crowd, such as texts or usage data, can be a valuable source of requirements, problems, wishes, and needs. Responding quickly, effectively, and iteratively to this feedback can greatly increase a product's success. CrowdRE comprises any approach that provides RE with suitable means for this crowd paradigm, especially by involving the crowd and by collecting, harmonizing, analyzing, and interpreting their feedback.
