Abstract

This paper describes an extension to the VORD model and attempts to resolve its lack of direct support for viewpoint interaction. Supporting the viewpoint interaction provides a useful tool for analyzing requirements changes and automating systems. It can also be used to indicate when multiple requirements are specified as a single requirement. The extension is demonstrated with the bank auto-teller system that was part of the original VORD proposal.

A Suggested Framework for Software Requirements Classification
UKSIM '15: Proceedings of the 2015 17th UKSIM-AMSS International Conference on Modelling and Simulation

Software requirements refer to the description of the desired services that the system should provide, which reflect the needs of stakeholders. These requirements could be classified in different ways depending on the software itself and the domain in ...
NFR Modeling Approaches
SSNE '11: Proceedings of the 2011 First ACIS International Symposium on Software and Network Engineering

Non-functional requirements (NFRs) are one of the major concerns in system requirement engineering. NFRs must be considered for a successful software project and thus modeling of NFRs is of equal importance. Unfortunately, most of the available ...
An Approach for Eliciting Software Requirements and its Prioritization Using Analytic Hierarchy Process
ARTCOM '09: Proceedings of the 2009 International Conference on Advances in Recent Technologies in Communication and Computing

Most software engineering methods presume that requirements are explicitly and completely stated; however, experience shows that requirements are rarely complete and usually contain implicit requirements. The failure or success of a software system ...
