Requirements Engineering (RE)

• Objectives

  This on-going activity at SYSLAB includes investigation of a number of theoretical and methodological issues as well as performing empirical research in business and industry in the RE area. Its objectives includes issues related to

  • improvement of our knowledge of RE-problems such as objectives acquisition, analysis, and structuring,
  • collaborative modelling work in a distributed environment,
  • group-work in modelling and tools for supporting group-work (also distributed),
  • modelling process management,
  • validity, quality, and "maturity" aspects of modelling,
  • formalisation of enterprise modelling concepts and languages,
  • empirical field studies on problems related to RE and modelling practice
  • tools for RE in the early stages of development.

  • Funding

    This work is performed by SYSLAB staff, graduate students, and visiting researchers. Some external funding for visiting researchers has been obtained from the Swedish Institute and from KTH.

  • Duration

    This is an on-going activity, carried out by SYSLAB staff in co- operation with other research sites.

  • Staff

    RE is co-ordinated by Janis A. Bubenko jr. For further information and associated researchers see RE-information below

  • Collaboration

    This activity is open-ended regarding collaboration with other sites. Visiting researchers from Riga Technical University, Latvia, and from Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania, are affiliated with this activity. Continuous exchange of results is taking place with several other centres in Europe, e.g. Technical University of Aachen, Germany, UMIST in UK., and University of Paris-1, France.
