“…DDRE is usually connected to agile approaches [78] but we can imagine integration with other processes. For instance, Franch et al [79] explore the integration of DDRE into a model-driven development software life cycle, where the generation of the feedback gathering infrastructure is integrated with the generation of the system itself, supporting thus evolution of the embedded mechanisms as the system requirements evolve.…”

Data-driven approaches are becoming dominant in almost every single software engineering activity, and requirements engineering is not the exception. The analysis of data coming from several sources may indeed become an extremely useful input to requirements elicitation and management. However, benefits do not come for free. Techniques such as natural language processing and machine learning are difficult to master and require high-quality data and specific competences from different fields, whilst their generalization remains as a challenge. This paper introduces the main concepts behind data-driven requirements engineering, provides an overview of the state of the art in the field and identifies the main challenges to be addressed.

“…As this topic has only emerged in recent years and is still being researched, such approaches are still lacking. To address this deficit, platforms and projects must work closely with researchers to implement CrowdRE in real development settings [18], [27], [30].…”

In recent decades, there has been a major shift towards improved digital access to scholarly works. However, even now that these works are available in digital form, they remain document-based, making it difficult to communicate the knowledge they contain. The next logical step is to extend these works with more flexible, fine-grained, semantic, and context-sensitive representations of scholarly knowledge. The Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) is a platform that structures and interlinks scholarly knowledge, relying on crowdsourced contributions from researchers (as a crowd) to acquire, curate, publish, and process this knowledge. In this experience report, we consider the ORKG in the context of Crowd-based Requirements Engineering (CrowdRE) from two perspectives:(1) As CrowdRE researchers, we investigate how the ORKG practically applies CrowdRE techniques to involve scholars in its development to make it align better with their academic work. We determined that the ORKG readily provides social and financial incentives, feedback elicitation channels, and support for context and usage monitoring, but that there is improvement potential regarding automated user feedback analyses and a holistic CrowdRE approach. (2) As crowd members, we explore how the ORKG can be used to communicate scholarly knowledge about CrowdRE research. For this purpose, we curated qualitative and quantitative scholarly knowledge in the ORKG based on papers contained in two previously published systematic literature reviews (SLRs) on CrowdRE. This knowledge can be explored and compared interactively, and with more data than what the SLRs originally contained. Therefore, the ORKG improves access and communication of the scholarly knowledge about CrowdRE research. For both perspectives, we found the ORKG to be a useful multi-tool for CrowdRE research.

“…Introduction RE is a cornerstone discipline in the development of any software system. This should also apply for those that have an ML component (FRANCH; JEDLITSCHKA; MARTÍNEZ-FERNÁNDEZ, 2023). In traditional software systems, RE activities are well-established and researched.…”

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to those who supported me during the completion of this thesis. First and foremost, I am grateful to my supervisor, Professor Marcos Kalinowski, who has been an invaluable source of guidance and support throughout my academic and professional journey. I truly appreciate the freedom he gave me to explore my ideas and his guidance to help me develop them in the right direction. Marcos has taught me the importance of being a team player, a leader, and a researcher, and has been an inspiring role model both personally and professionally. His dedication to his students, his integrity, and his willingness to invest time and effort in helping us learn and explore different paths has been truly remarkable. I will always be grateful for his mentorship and the impact he has had on my life.I am also grateful to Professor Dan Berry, Professor Daniel Mendez, Professor Hélio Lopes, and Professor Sérgio Lifschitz for the constructive feedback as members of my thesis proposal committee and for accepting to be part of my thesis defense assessment board. I also thank Professor Tatiana Escovedo and all colleagues of the ExACTa lab for their collaboration and the friendly working atmosphere over the years. This mix of experiences helped me a lot to lay the foundations for this thesis.Bureaucracy can make the lives of doctoral students very difficult due to the numerous setbacks and administrative issues to be resolved. I would like to thank all the administrative staff of the Informatics Department at PUC-Rio for their help, especially Alex Alves, Cosme Leal, and Vagner Pires.Achieving a balance between academic commitments and personal life was essential to reach this point. That's why I thank
