Within this contribution, we present an approach developed in order to communicate Smart Grid Systems Engineering as well as architecture management to domain-specific industry stakeholders from utilities. The method acts as requirements elicitation process based on Lego Serious Play methods alongside the domain specific IEC 62559 use case process. Based on years of experience applying the clas...

There is a continual growth in the use of social computing within a breadth of business domains; such as marketing, public engagement and innovation management. Software engineering research, like other similar disciplines, has recently started to harness the power of social computing throughout the various development phases; from requirements elicitation to validation and maintenance and for ...

Quality of software products is closely related to the elicitation requirement process. Several studies point out that elicitation techniques achieve different results when applied in different contexts. This paper presents some recommendations about the situations in which elicitation techniques are useful. Recommendations are based on a previous systematic review, which was updated and expand...

In this paper, we report on the development of a webbased platform for Participatory Architectural Change Management in Air Traffic Management Systems (ATM) as part of the SESAR H2020 project PACAS. The platform is the result of an iterative requirements engineering process that actively involves ATM domain experts, starting from stakeholder analysis, to requirements elicitation, scenario defin...

This paper presents a systematic review of relevant published studies related to topics in Requirements Engineering, specifically, concerning stakeholder identification methods in requirements elicitation, dated from 1984 to 2011. Addressing four specific research questions, this systematic literature review shows the following evidence gathered from these studies: current status of stakeholder...

[Context and motivation] In the last years motion-based games have achieved an increasing success. These games have great potential to support physiotherapeutic programs, as they can guide the patients in performing the right movements for their rehabilitation. [Question/problem] However, on the one hand, existing games performed on commercial systems (e.g., Wii, Kinect) are not suitable for pe...

Mobile learning (m-learning) is a research field that aims to analyze how mobile devices can contribute to learning. The development of software for mobile devices to support learning is essential for an effective implementation of m-learning or mobile learning environments (MLE). Requirements Engineering processes need to include activities that provoke creativity in the stakeholders to concei...

Anyone who has built or remodeled a house and has developed or enhanced SW must have noticed the similarity of these activities. This talk describes some lessons about requirements engineering I learned while being a customer in a house building and two house remodeling. The biggest problem is to avoid very expensive requirements creep. The main lesson is the importance of the customer insistin...

A Requirement is a feature that the system must have or a constraint that it must satisfy to be acceptable to the client. The Requirements Process is aimed at defining the requirements of the system under construction. The Requirements Process can be viewed as two main activities, Requirements Elicitation, which results in the specification of the system that the customer understands, and Requi...

This paper proposes a new approach to engaging and stimulating users in the requirements analysis process when developing a new information system – an ICT innovation for business. The approach is based on a synthesis of a constructivist learning theory and a creativity education theory. In contrast to previous approaches in which the systems analyst elicits requirements from the user, in the p...
