Research has started investigating the support of sustainability within systems and software engineering.Yet there are few workshops that explore the topic, and there is only one so far in requirements engineering: RE4SuSy. The International Workshops on Requirements Engineering for Sustainable Systems (RE4SuSy) have been held at REFSQ in 2012 and at RE in 2013. We want to continue this series ...

Being able to reduce the gap between Requirements Engineering and Software Engineering is crucial to foster the developments of better Informations Systems that more precisely adresses the organizational needs of the stakeholders. One of the key factor toward this objective is adopting methodologies in which the the conceptual level of Requirements Engineering techniques is raised, so that form...

In order to integrate requirements into the current Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) approach, the traditional document-based requirements specification process should be changed into a requirements modelling process. To achieve this we propose a requirements metamodel called REMM (Requirements Engineering MetaModel) which includes the elements that should appear in a requirements model (requirem...

A t the 1996 and 1997 International Conferences on Software Engineering, three of the six keynote addresses identified negotiation techniques as the most critical success factor in improving the outcome of software projects. At the USC Center for Software Engineering, we have been developing a negotiationbased approach to software system requirements engineering, architecture, development, and ...

We report on the application of the use-case modeling technique to identify and specify the user requirements of the MammoGrid project in an incremental and controlled iterative approach. Modeling has been carried out in close collaboration with clinicians and radiologists with no prior experience of use cases. The study reveals the advantages and limitations of applying this technique to requi...

Digital Addiction, (hereafter referred to as DA), has become a serious issue that has a diversity of socio-economic side effects. In spite of its high importance, DA has received little recognition and little guidance as to how software engineering should take it into account. This is in stark contrast to other domains known for traditional addiction, e.g. drugs, gambling, and alcohol, in which...

Requirements elicitation is the first of the four steps in software requirements engineering (the others being analysis, specification, and validation). Software engineers use several elicitation techniques. To facilitate teaching these techniques, materials are provided to support an introductory lecture and four lectures on specific techniques: joint application design, brainstorming, intervi...

In the context of enterprise engineering, strategic planning, information systems engineering, and software engineering activities should be tightly integrated. Traditional, interviewbased requirements gathering and elicitation techniques are suited for this aim not enough well and often lead to the violation of the strategic alignment. The vision-driven requirements engineering has been propos...

This paper addresses the problem of ‘production-quality’ CSCW software development where software is developed from an agreed statement of the system requirements. In particular, we are concerned with ways in which requirements specifications for CSCW systems can be developed and with the integration of ethnography into traditional specification methods. Existing approaches to requirements engi...

Requirements engineering is the critical phase of the software engineering process, where complex, heterogeneous human needs, together with environmental constraints have to be captured and translated into system requirements. In this paper we recall the concept of normative environment, discuss the problems and challenges related to the requirements analysis in this kind of environments and pr...
