Guenther Ruhe, Maleknaz Nayebi, Christof Ebert · 2017
Industry and society are facing radical changes due to fast growing digital technologies and its ubiquity. Products and services will increasingly augment and integrate the real world with the digital world. This digital transformation has reached all business areas. Companies and consumers expect to obtain innovation, market penetration, cost reductions and more flexibility. The relationship between RE and society is bi-directional. In this talk, we discuss the evolving role of RE by referring to a quarter century of impressive research. We discuss the increasing scope and responsibility of our discipline, serving as the bridge between the general public and technical teams and providing a response to the dramatic changes in our society.
