“…we had to find pragmatic solutions for the elicitation, elaboration and analysis of the requirements. Methods based on templates are suitable for the elicitation and documentation of requirements in large research projects in which partners with different cultures, work rules and languages participate [37]. Our search for validated requirements templates that were directly applicable to our project, however, returned no results.…”

Requirements engineering has been recognized as a fundamental phase of the software engineering process. Nevertheless, the elicitation and analysis of requirements are often left aside in favor of architecture-driven software development. This tendency, however, can lead to issues that may affect the success of a project. This paper presents our experience gained in the elicitation and analysis of requirements in a large-scale security-oriented European research project, which was originally conceived as an architecture-driven project. In particular, we illustrate the challenges that can be faced in large-scale research projects and consider the applicability of existing best practices and off-the-shelf methodologies with respect to the needs of such projects. We then discuss how those practices and methods can be integrated into the requirements engineering process and possibly improved to address the identified challenges. Finally, we summarize the lessons learned from our experience and the benefits that a proper requirements analysis can bring to a project.

“…Since requirements statements are usually expressed in some form of natural language, the main challenge in the approaches has been the problem of linguistic analysis or natural language processing (NLP) [10,14,22]. The richness of natural language means that the same essential requirement may be expressed by diverse alternative texts.…”

In this paper we examine how model transformation specifications can be derived from requirements and examples, using a combination of natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML) and inductive logic programming (ILP) techniques, together with search-based software engineering (SBSE) for metamodel matching. The AI techniques are employed in order to improve the performance and accuracy of the base SBSE approach, and enable this to be used for a wider range of transformation cases. We propose a specific approach for the co-use of the techniques, and evaluate this on a range of transformation examples from different sources.

“…Requirements Engineering (RE) has been established as a separate field for investigation, definition, analysis and experimentation and in return the definition of RE has appeared (Kavakli and Loucopoulos, 2003). Initially RE has been defined as requirements needed to assess and measure the current concerned software implementation.…”

“…Initially RE has been defined as requirements needed to assess and measure the current concerned software implementation. Later on through years the boundaries for the RE definition has been extended to include not only the software implementation but also the whole organizational structure including its systems (Kavakli and Loucopoulos, 2003). Eventually we can say that RE is the part of software engineering which looks into handling problems occurring and taking place in organizational settings since it is concerned mainly with problems occurring from business goals, plans and systems-to-be in the organizational objectives.…”

“…A SLR research is a technique in which the state of the art of a particular field of knowledge is analyzed and discussed through defining a problem statement which is concerned with the research objective, research questions' sources of information, search string, the criteria for inclusion and exclusion for sources found from the search performed. Various SLR have been done in the field of RE such as (Kavakli and Loucopoulos, 2003).…”

Goal modeling techniques plays a crucial role in requirements engineering since they facilitate the reach of requirements to stakeholders in an understandable easy manner and also in a professional well defined pattern to developers. Modeling of goals are encouraged and proposed during requirements elicitation in order to detail, understand and describe problems associated with current organizational structures and behavior. However, a current challenge appears which is how to manage modeling of goals if either these goals were elicited in early or late phases? Eventually if that occurred the rest of the challenge comes in how to model these goals in the presence of uncertainty? This paper presents a systematic literature review of the current goal modeling techniques dealing with both early and late requirements such as: i* framework, tropos, GRL and UML. The results for research in this study show that although there are models for both early and late requirements, most techniques to a great extent are used for modeling early requirements. The findings lead us to identify two future work elicited in the study that might help a lot in modeling goals.
