This paper describes a multimodal dialogue driven system, ARCHIVUS, that allows users to access and retrieve the content of recorded and annotated multimodal meetings. We describe (1) a novel approach taken in designing the system given the relative inapplicability of standard user requirements elicitation methodologies, (2) the components of ARCHIVUS, and (3) the methodologies that we plan to ...

As software systems become more and more complex with a multitude of stakeholders involved in development activities, novel ways of conducting the process of requirements elicitation and analysis are to be found. Therefore, this paper introduces a method for collaborative requirements elicitation and decision-supported requirements analysis. Accompanying this method, appropriate tools and techn...

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a learning technique that involves learners with problem-solving skills and it is known to motivate learners to collaborate among themselves to work together for the best solution. This technique requires effective social interaction in order to produce the best outcome from each discussion in the learning process. Social interaction issue becomes more interestin...

A survey of different types of prototypes and current prototyping methods and tools is presented. Especially the usage of prototypes with use cases and scenarios is investigated, and an approach to requirements engineering combining the systematic use of prototyping and use cases is described. The approach consists of repeated prototype demonstration sessions with stakeholders in which use case...

Traditional approaches to requirements elicitation stress systematic and rational analysis and representation of organizational context and system requirements. This paper argues that (1) for an organization, a software system implements a shared vision of a future work reality and that (2) understanding the emotions, feelings, values, beliefs, and interests that drive organizational human acti...

This paper presents a detailed Requirements Engineering process for the development of semantic applications. It presents the activities for requirements elicitation and analysis and shows how to follow these activities in an example case study. To facilitate its use by software engineers that are not experts in semantic technologies, several resources are provided, namely a comprehensive colle...

To deal with software requirements volatility, we present a model transformation of a software family requirements model into detailed requirements models of its members. This transformation is based on feature algebra and relation algebra. We give the mathematical foundation for this transformation system. The initial models are the result of engineering requirements processes. In other terms,...

This paper presents the conceptual framework for sequencing of Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology with the implementation of i* modeling framework in capturing multiple roles requirements. There are multiple roles involved in the development of information system, thus it involves with difference users requirements and preferences, context as well as the demands which become a chal...

Requirements analysis and general management issues within the development process of new software components are addressed in this paper, focusing on factors that result from requirements elicitation and significantly affect management decisions and development activities. A new methodology performing a certain form of requirements identification and collection prior to developing new software...

The primary measure of success of a software system is the level to which it meets the purpose for which it was projected and requirements engineering (RE) is the process of discovering that purpose. The RE process includes five distinct phases: Requirements Elicitation, Requirements Analysis & Negotiation, Requirements Documentation, Requirements Verification & Validation, and Requirements Man...
