A challenge for the requirements engineering (RE) field is to ensure simplicity of requirements Often the real needs are hidden beneath contextual knowledge, assumptions, inconsistencies, and even omissions Our goal is to state requirements simply, to promote simpler designs and thus simpler systems Similarly, we seek to apply the complementarity principle as we write requirements Every concept has a complement or opposite cause effect, input output, start stop, etc In RE, we study the system and the human We seek ways to perform RE such that we allocate the tasks that require a human being s unique abilities to the humans and automate the other system tasks Here is where the complementarity principle can come into play and drive our work.

Welcome to the Fifth International Workshop on the Twin Peaks of Requirements and Architecture (TwinPeaks), held on May 17 in Florence, Italy, and co-located with the 37th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2015). The goal of TwinPeaks 2015 is to offer a venue for researchers, practitioners and educators from the areas of requirements engineering, software architecture and general software engineering to discuss their experiences, forge new collaborations, and explore innovative solutions that address the challenges of the Twin Peaks model (B. Nuseibeh, Weaving together requirements and architectures, IEEE Computer, vol. 34, no. 3, pp. 115--117, 2001). The workshop is expected to result in an improved understanding of key issues and challenges at the intersection of requirements engineering and software architecture, an understanding of the state of the art in research and practice, and directions towards addressing open issues identified in previous editions of TwinPeaks. The theme for this edition of the workshop is "TwinPeaks goes Agile". We explore lightweight techniques for integrating requirements and architectural thinking into the agile process, including understanding when to engage in upfront requirements analysis and architectural design, and techniques for incremental delivery.

The use of 3D modelling in practices of valorisation and dissemination of historic-architectural knowledge and restoration is now consolidated. Virtual models must, however, match principles of scientific rigour, comprehensibility and evaluability by the users, as stated in the London Charter and in the Seville Principles. This paper aims at presenting the methodology used in the virtual reconstruction of some drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, developed to ensure the correct dissemination of the historical contents delivered through the drafting of a 'traceability card' compliant with the international Charters principles.
