Identifying and defining user requirements is an essential input to good user centred design, but there is little guidance on content. The workshop will share and review examples of user requirements provided by the participants, to generate a contents list that could help practitioners identify and document the relevant requirements.

This paper describes an approach for elicitation of requirements based on existing user documentation. The approach we describe in this paper supports capturing of the information found in user documentation of legacy systems, e.g., user manuals, and the specification of this information in requirements specifications, using, e.g., Use Cases. We propose a conceptual model describing the transit...

Requirements engineering is an important phase in a system’s life cycle. When poorly performed, various problems may occur, such as failures, cost overrun and delays. The increasing complexity of systems makes requirements engineering activities both more important and more difficult. Model-driven engineering, in which models are the main artifact during system development, is an emergent appro...

This paper is a part of research, in which the way the experts of information systems design follow in their work is analysed and specified. The goal of this paper is to present a method for specification of user requirements in the earliest stages of information system development. The technology for specification of user requirements, and the rules, which help to keep correct specification of...

abstract childhood is a critical era of life which has the ability to significantly improve the behavioral, educational and social aspects of individuals. identification of suitable environment of growing up along with a real insight into child's needs, help researchers and designers to gradually step towards improving the personal and behavioral characteristics of the next generation. see...

User requirements look at the functionality of the software product from the perspectives of the various users of that product. They define what the software has to do in order for the users to accomplish their objectives. In order to fulfill a business requirement, there may be multiple user level requirements. For example, the business requirement to allow the customer to pay for the gas at t...

Safety-critical systems such as medical and avionic ones are the systems in which failure to satisfy the user requirements may put man’s life and resources in jeopardy. Since the adequate reliability of the software of such systems may be unobtainable via formal methods and the software testing approach single-handedly, verification of run-time behavior of software against user requirements vio...

The new millennium opens with an increasing diversity of computerized devices comprising an increasing diversity of interaction styles used by an increasing diversity of user groups. Thus the incorporation of user interface requirements into software requirements specifications becomes more and more mandatory. Validating these requirements specifications with hand made, throw away prototypes is...
