WG2.9 - Software Requirements Engineering
Established 1995

AIMS

The aim of the Working Group is to develop a better understanding of:

• the elicitation, specification, analysis and management of the requirements for large and complex software intensive systems;
• the interpretation and documentation of those requirements in such a way as to permit the developer to construct a system which will satisfy them. 

SCOPE

The Scope of the WG includes all aspects of requirements engineering. Some examples of areas of special interest are:

• formal representation schemes and requirements modelling;
• descriptions of the requirements engineering process;
• tools and environments to support requirements engineering;
• requirements engineering methods;
• requirements analysis and validation;
• requirements elicitation, acquisition and formalisation;
• methods and tools for verification of an implementation's compliance with requirements;
• reuse and adaptation of requirements;
• domain modelling and analysis;
• requirements engineering for distributed, safety-critical, composite, real-time and embedded systems.
