Today, analysts are offered a wide set of conceptual tools for requirements enginering, including modelling languages, like UML and SysML, and methodological approaches, like Problem Frames. However, these conceptual tools, which address different needs ...

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate how Problem Oriented Software Engineering (POSE), an extension and generalisation of Problem Frames, supports the systematic transformation of requirements from overall system level requirements through to ...

We compared two prominent software development notations: Problem Frames and the UML, to establish which is more effective at conveying the problem domain and software requirements. The UML scored slightly higher in both the comprehension and perceived ...

This paper proposes a method for web service description by using problem frame approach. Different from existing methods, this method uses problem diagram to describe the capability of available web service and use it to identify precise requirements. ...

Networked software, a special kind of applications in service-oriented computing and ultra-large-scale systems, is a complex software system deploying on network environment. Requirements engineering of networked software poses many problems owing to ...

Problem Frames approach is a new and prospective tool for classifying, analyzing and structuring software development problems. However, there is not yet efficient CASE tool for guiding the problem frame specification development. An ontology based ...

In this paper, we explore suitability of the Problem Frames framework for intelligent building software requirements gathering. The research was conducted through a pilot application presented to intelligent building specialists, with a follow-up survey ...

The approach to requirements modelling based on problem frames is gaining increasing attention and popularity. However, the usage of problem frames in industrial software development processes requires that some industrial practices, like cost ...

Requirements engineering describes how an IT implementation will support business functions. Most IT systems are operational in nature and typical requirements engineering techniques and methods are usually adequate in capturing and documenting the ...

One of the problems with current practice in software development is that customer requirements are often not well captured, understood and analysed, and there is no clear traceable path from customer requirements to software specifications. This often ...

The approach to requirements modelling based on problem frames is gaining increasing attention and popularity. This paper reports an experience in the application of problem frames to modelling the requirements of a system for monitoring the ...

Researchers make a significant effort to develop new modelling languages and tools. However, they spend less effort developing methods for constructing models using these languages and tools. We are developing a method for building an embedded system ...

Central to the problem frames approach is the distinction of three different descriptions: requirements R, domain assumptions W and specifications S, tied together with the so-called 'frame concern', a proof obligation that has to hold between them if a ...

In this position paper, we propose research into expressing software development processes in terms of one generic theory, namely Problem Oriented Engineering (POE). Our aim is to relate the POE process to those available in the Rational Unified Process ...
