“…All of the interviewed practitioners confirm this MR, as Expert 4 stated: "…we constantly checked the requirements with the customers…" Finally, (MR7) responsibilities introduces the relevance of involving particular roles in the RE artefact model. Such roles might include the Domain Expert, the System Designer, the Business Analyst, and the System Analyst [24]. As with (MR6) continuity, all domain experts confirmed this MR.…”

Abstract. Current research in the requirements engineering (RE) domain is extensive. However, despite increased efforts from both practitioners and researchers to make RE more successful, the implied link to project success is questionable. Consequently, to address this gap, researchers propose a new paradigm in the domain of RE, namely the artefact orientation. Based on this new research field, this study introduces a requirements engineering canvas (REC) which we developed based on model requirements (MRs) derived from a literature review. Moreover, we confirmed these MRs with findings from interviews involving 7 domain experts. In particular, the REC addresses the 7 MRs: goal orientation, documentation, integration, agility, continuity, adaptability, and responsibilities.

“…It is pointed out in this theory that a formal distinction between spaces of "Concepts" (C) and "Knowledge" (K) is a condition for design. Described in the C-K theory, design is modeled using four operations (C-C, C-K, K-C, C-C), where a concept generates other concepts or is transformed into knowledge, and new knowledge is created in favor of further pursuit of the undecided concepts [30][31][32][33]. Illustrated in Figure 2, creative concepts are the potential "seeds" for design alternatives, and they are undecided with respect to the existing knowledge at the point of time when it is conceived.…”

A design problem with deficient information is generally described as wicked or ill-defined. The information insufficiency leaves designers with loose settings, free environments, and a lack of strict boundaries, which provides them with more opportunities to facilitate innovation. Therefore, to capture the opportunity behind the uncertainty of a design problem, this study models an innovative design as a composite solving process, where the problem is clarified and resolved from fuzziness to satisfying solutions by interplay among design problems, knowledge, and solutions. Additionally, a triple-helix structured model for the innovative product design process is proposed based on the co-evolution of the problem, solution, and knowledge spaces, to provide designers with a distinct design strategy and method for innovative design. The three spaces interact and co-evolve through iterative mappings, including problem structuring, knowledge expansion, and solution generation. The mappings carry the information processing and decision-making activities of the design, and create the path to satisfying solutions. Finally, a case study of a reactor coolant flow distribution device is presented to demonstrate the practicability of this model and the method for innovative product design.

Poor requirements are one of the principal reasons for collapse of software projects. Detecting the requirements errors at the final stage intensifies the efforts of developers that may delay system delivery and overrun cost. Therefore to reduce the development time and cost, it necessitates a systematic and structured Requirement Engineering (RE) approach to establish a comprehensive understanding of the requirements addressed by a software product. Agent-based technology for software development has been recognized as a promising and pioneering paradigm for next generation systems. It was observed that a number of RE approaches in literature, are the rich sources of techniques facilitating various phases of RE. This work presents a year-wise comparative analysis of these RE approaches that could provide systematic guidelines to developers for an effective application of RE to Multi-Agent System (MAS).
