Requirements Engineering
Requirements engineering (RE) is the starting point for development of software products. In particular, market-driven software development manages various types of requirements from different sources continuously. This project concerns decision support for the RE process, in particular elicitation and prioritization of requirements. Long-term cooperation with companies have identified a set of long-term research issues:
• RE process improvement based on systematic post-release analysis.
• Methods for understanding and planning of the RE activities, based on building and running process simulation models.
• Techniques for managing large repositories with textual requirements and semi-automatic identification of requirements interdependencies using linguistic engineering.
