Requirements Engineering

Security is nowadays an indispensable requirement in software systems. Traditional software engineering processes focus primarily on business requirements, leaving security as an afterthought to be addressed via generic "patched-on" defensive ...

In goal-oriented requirements engineering, goal models have been advocated to express stakeholder objectives and to capture and choose among system requirement candidates. A number of highly automated procedures have been proposed to analyze goal ...

Process models describe someone's understanding of processes. Processes can be described using unstructured, semi-formal or diagrammatic representation forms. These representations are used in a variety of task settings, ranging from understanding ...

Quality requirements are the main drivers for modeling and evaluating software quality at an early stage, and ASPIRE is an engineering method designed to elicit and document the quality requirements of embedded systems. This paper proposes an extension ...

This paper presents SCRAM---CK, a method to elicit requirements by means of strong user involvement supported by prototyping activities. The method integrates two existing approaches, SCRAM and CK theory. SCRAM provides the framework for requirements ...

Program comprehension tools used with assembly language--often for maintaining legacy software or reverse engineering malware threats--are dated and fail to provide rudimentary features found in tool support for higher-level languages. The need for ...
