Researchers from BUCSR are co-organising the 12th International Workshop on Evolving Security & Privacy Requirements Engineering (ESPRE 2025). ESPRE is co-located with the 33rd IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE 2025), which is taking place between 01-05 September 2025, Valencia, Spain.
ESPRE is now celebrating its 12th year. Although the ESPRE workshop has been co-located with RE since 2014, it builds on the success of earlier workshops in security requirements engineering and secure software engineering. ESPRE is a multi-disciplinary one-day workshop that brings together practitioners and researchers interested in security and privacy requirements. ESPRE probes the interfaces between Requirements Engineering and Security & Privacy, and aims to evolve security and privacy requirements engineering to meet the needs of stakeholders; these range from business analysts and security engineers, to technology entrepreneurs and privacy advocates. The theme of this year’s ESPRE workshop will be Large Language Models (LLMs) and their applications.
ESPRE will be run as a one-day workshop. The workshop format will consist of an invited talk, paper presentations and discussions, and a facilitated roadmap building session. ESPRE invites Full papers describing a well-defined research project, possibly with an (initial) evaluation – Page limits: 8 pages plus 2 pages only for references. Or, Short papers describing a preliminary research project – Page limits: 5 pages plus 1 page only for references. The submission deadline is by 23:59:59 AoE, Monday, 9 June 2025. The workshop will be held on Monday, 01 September 2025.
Duncan Ki-Aries is a co-organiser of this workshop, together with Sepideh Ghanavati (University of Maine, USA), Seok-Won Lee (Anjou University, South Korea), and Mattia Salnitri (Università degli studi di Bergamo, Italy)
