In this paper, we discuss some methodological issues associated with research into requirements engineering, and describe the benefits afforded to us by using action research to explore issues associated with requirements elicitation, modelling and validation. FOOM is a requirements engineering method which is designed to facilitate the development of high-quality, requirements-conformant infor...

While requirements elicitation has been established as a crucial phase of the systems development process, empirical research on the topic of requirements elicitation is sparse. In this paper we present a requirements elicitation scenario that can be used by researchers to evaluate different methods of eliciting a set of requirements. This scenario consists of an elicitation tasks, a system fea...

Requirements engineering is a critical task in the construction of correct computer systems. It is not however a certain task, and it causes serious problems in computer systems. This is due to the existence of a gap between users and the development process introduced by a manual interpretation of their needs. In order to ascertain an accurate translation from users requirements to spec-iicati...

Incomplete and incorrect requirements may cause the safety-related software systems to fail to achieve their safety goals. It is crucial to ensure software safety by identifying proper software safety requirements during the requirements elicitation activity. Practitioners apply various Safety Risk Assessment Techniques (SRATs) to identify, analyze and assess safety risk. Nevertheless, there is...

Purpose – Requirements Engineering (RE) process constitutes the earliest phase of the information system development life-cycle. Requirements elicitation is considered as one of the most critical activities of this phase. Moreover, requirements elicitation is still a challenge, especially in the distributed environment of so-called inter-company cooperative information system. The purpose of th...

The requirements engineering is mandatory phase which all development process start with. Mistakes in requirements elicitation therefore take very important role in a project success. In these article requirements elicitation methods are described in context of the system development and finally the generic requirements engineering process is described. Key-Words: requirements elicitation, requ...

Nowadays, lots of open source communities adopt forum to acquire scattered stakeholders’ requirements. But the requirements collection process always suffers from the unformatted description and unfocused discussions. In this paper, we establish a framework ReqForum to define the metamodel of the requirement elicitation forum. Based on it, we propose a lightweight forum-based requirements elici...

Even though goal modeling is an effective approach to requirements engineering, it is known to present a number of difficulties in practice. The paper discusses these difficulties and proposes to couple goal modeling and scenario authoring to overcome them. Whereas existing techniques use scenarios to concretize goals, we use them to discover goals. Our proposal is to define enactable rules whi...

The importance and the real potential of the Requirements Engineering is now being well recognized. A series of reversed as well as assorted researches are underway particularly on ‘ways to incorporate security right from the beginning’. Researchers are doing excellent work in this area. In this paper, we review current Secure Requirements Engineering (SRE) research and try to identify current ...

This paper surveys and evaluates some techniques for eliciting requirements of computer-based systems, paying particular attention to how they deal with social issues. The methods surveyed include introspection, interviews, questionnaires, and protocol, conversation, interaction, and discourse analyses. Although they are relatively untried in Requirements Engineering, we believe there is much p...
