Many applications that are developed do not completely fulfil the requirements of their stakeholders. This can be a result of inadequate requirements elicitation and poorly defined requirements. Many solutions, including model-driven inspired ones, have been proposed to improve the elicitation of the requirements, though many of them are not yet widely used in practice as they require training ...

[Context and Motivation] The word “creativity” is used widely in business and academia, but its meaning may differ greatly depending on context. This may cause confusion in the minds of requirements engineers who have to determine which kinds of creativity are relevant to their project and which creativity tools to use. [Question/Problem] The main goal of this work is to understand why and how ...

Introduction: Requirements Engineering process is a crucial phase in software development. In order to achieve a successful design of health information systems (HISs), applying the best methodologies is essential. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to design pediatrics Epilepsy Information System (EPIS) as well as the use of triangulation approach in elicitation and validation of epil...

Requirements Evolution is one of the main issues that affect development activities as well as system features (e.g., system dependability). Although researchers and practitioners recognise the importance of requirements evolution, research results and experience are still patchy. This points out a lack of methodologies that address requirements evolution. This thesis investigates the current u...

In this paper, we report a requirements analysis of police work that has been conducted with a view to developing personal technology for police officers. The analysis involved observations, critical incident interviews and a questionnaire study. The paper shows how information from these techniques has been used to develop a design space for possible technologies. A significant problem is the ...

Problem-based Learning (PBL) is a learning technique that is used for stimulating learners with problematic dilemma and encouraging the learners to solve the problem based on learner’s capability. It is more to learner-centred approach whereby teacher or instructor plays role in guiding them to succeed. This paper enlightens on collaboration activities in e-learning and what element can be cons...

Requirements Elicitation is one of the activities held during the Requirements Engineering stage. Its main goal is to discover the requirements that stakeholders demand on a system-to-be. There are many strategies to conduct this activity, whose success depends on their effectiveness and efficiency in their context of application. This paper presents our PABRE method for conducting the Requirem...

Despite research being done on improving the requirements engineering process, existing requirements engineering tools and techniques are still inadequate. Different tools and techniques represent different foci on aspect of features. This paper presents a requirements engineering framework that provides emphasis on four aspects of requirements engineering – organizational factors, requirements...

This paper builds upon the work of Kent Beck on Extreme Programming. Here we advance some ideas on how requirements engineering research can improve Extreme Programming and how the managerial common sense exposed by Beck can improve requirements management. The ideas expressed in the paper are anchored on Beck ́s book and on our long experience in Software Engineering. Our main argument is that ...

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...
