****************************************************************************

SCOPE AND MOTIVATION

The Iberoamerican Workshop on Requirements Engineering and Software Environments, IDEAS, was conceived to stimulate and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience, and to narrow the relations between Iberoamerican research groups working in diverse areas of Software Engineering.
IDEAS provides a forum that aims at allowing researchers, educators and professionals to present and discuss the most recent works in several fields of Information Technologies and Computation Theories. IDEAS'08 will feature article presentations, tutorial courses, invited lectures, and meetings of research groups with similar interests.

IDEAS welcomes articles in Portuguese, Spanish or English, at international level, thereby allowing a bigger interaction between researchers of different Iberoamerican countries. The first IDEAS was hosted in 1998 in Torres, Brazil. Since then, the event has successfully taken place in San Jose-Costa Rica (IDEAS'99), Cancun- Mexico (IDEAS'00), Heredia-Costa Rica (IDEAS'01), La Habana-Cuba (IDEAS'02), Asuncion-Paraguay (IDEAS'03) , Arequipa-Peru (IDEAS'04), Valparaiso-Chile (IDEAS'05), La Plata-Argentina (IDEAS'06), and Isla de Margarita-Venezuela (IDEAS'07).

IDEAS´08 will be hosted in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, organized by the Department of Computational Systems (DSC) of the Pernambuco Technical University.
