“…The requirements cycle is iterative and convergent. The formal modeling is concerned explicitly with verification -preserving invariants and the scope of requirements -and convergence (SILVA et al, 2021). (HORKOFF et al, 2016) defines the Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering as the study or application of goal models in Requirements Engineering.…”

“…Therefore, a complete telemedicine environment is a service system and deserves a service design approach. As in any other area of engineering, telemedicine systems must emerge from a process of model-based requirements engineering (SILVA et al, 2021), as proposed in the next chapter. The increasing demand forces enormous growth and interest in home health care systems to fit the need to reduce the pressure on the hospitals.…”

“…Recently, XML has been selected as a transfer language in different situations, especially in design. Silva et al (SILVA et al, 2021) proposed a requirements cycle where a diagrammatic goal-oriented requirements specification is translated to a formal representation in Petri nets. That was previously done using UML as a starting representation (SILVA et al, 2022), but could not be done so far with KAOS representation for the lack of an XML definition of his diagrams.…”

“…Each layer will respond to a system or process, has its function, and comes with its target mission or social goal. This multi-layered approach (SILVA et al, 2021) separates the healthcare level from the automation level that is supposedly service-based. Figure 21 shows two layers of architecture where the bottom level (the domotic or smart home) covers the general automation process for the house while the top-level deals directly with the healthcare system.…”

“…The information collected from the home care domain is analyzed and modeled into "System As-Is" (including the home automation), resuming expectations (or a legacy system). (SILVA et al, 2021) proposes a legacy system for this work, where the main goal is to monitor the night sleep of old adults. This primary goal should become a service implemented to compose a cloud service repository with other services in a distributed approach, as shown in Figure 21.…”

The world of home automation and the smart home is changing. Population aging, chronic diseases increase and the cost of health services increases meaning that houses are considered a possible alternative to replacing (at least partially) hospitals and health institutions. Smart homes offer facilities and features that improve the quality of life for patients, the elderly, and people who need health assistance. Today, the technological solutions available are no longer just synonymous with comfort and safety, expanding the scope to include solutions for health systems. Smart home technology is an emerging field of automation that integrates different areas, including electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic automation subsystems and sensors associated with sophisticated monitoring and control. Recently, these systems have also received missions to assist specific users, such as the elderly or patients who need intensive care, introducing the direction to Service Engineering. This challenge puts enormous pressure on the development of engineering requirements that correspond to the automation goals raised by telemedicine, treating these smart homes as a System of Systems (SoS) with a global goal (social goal) that combines comfort, safety, and flexibility with healthcare, protection, and telemedicine. The proposal presented is based on a multilayer 1 approach where all the services involved can be modeled and matched, respecting the limits of their specifications, in a single system that achieves the proposed objective. Intelligent systems in these layers justify the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) planning, in which automated processes achieve the objectives of each service. This substantially changes home automation projects, which should be designed to be reused, and creates a link with health and telemedicine. The work focus is on goal-oriented requirements modeling (Goal Oriented Requirements Engineering) which specifies processes subsequently transferred to Petri nets.
