Requirements engineering approach for real-time and embedded systems: a case study of android-based smart phone devices
ICUIMC '14: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Management and Communication

The primary success of a software system is the degree it meets the purpose for which was intended. Therefore, software systems requirements engineering (RE) helps to achieve this purpose. Requirements engineering has been recognized as important in ...
The ARTS real-time agent architecture
LADS'09: Proceedings of the Second international conference on Languages, Methodologies, and Development Tools for Multi-Agent Systems

We present a new approach to providing soft real-time guarantees for Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents. We define what it means for BDI agents to operate in real time, or to satisfy real-time guarantees. We then develop a model of real-time ...
Vacuous real-time requirements
RE '11: Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE 19th International Requirements Engineering Conference

We introduce the property of vacuity for requirements. A requirement is vacuous in a set of requirements if it is equivalent to a simpler requirement in the context of the other requirements. For example, the requirement "if A then B" is vacuous ...
