Requirements Engineering is the key issue for the development of Software Systems, that meet the expectations of their customers and users, are delivered on time, and are developed within budget. This book intends to pr...

La aplicación los principios de ingeniería, no sólo al software sino también a los requisitos del sistema software dentro del proyecto de desarrollo de software es básica y está plenamente justificada. En este libr...

Globalization and new technologies with their breakneck competitiveness and speed of doing business have driven the development of e-commerce, changing the way products are sold and bought today. The new digital era in w...

Defining software requirements is a complex and difficult process, which often leads to costly project failures. Requirements emerge from a collaborative and interactive negotiation process that involves heterogeneous s...

In a scene where stakeholders are geographically distributed, communication presents new challenges for research areas. Considering the characteristics of interpersonal communication and the virtual area where it is carr...

Formal methods are being increasingly used in engineering industrial software. They are moatly used for specifying and verifying software requirements, but seldom in later development phases. This paper tries to bridge ...

Asymmetric or heterogeneous multi-core (AMC) architectures have definite performance, performance per watt and fault tolerance advantages for a wide range of workloads. We propose a 16 core AMC architecture mixing simple...

"There are data mining methodologies for business intelligence (DM-BI) projects that highlight the importance of planning an ordered, documented, consistent and traceable requirement’s elicitation throughout the entire...

Quality models for software architecture are taxonomies of quality attributes, commonly used to specify and evaluate nonfunctionalrequirements. Most quality models offer a two-level approach, distinguishing externally ob...

"Formal requirements specifications, eg, software cost reduction (SCR) specifications, are challenging to analyse using automated techniques such as model checking. Since such specifications are meant to capture requirem...

The complexity of the information collected in the area of the hidrical resources in the Antofagasta district led to the settlement of a Geographical Information System. This highly powerful software managed system provi...

"Clinical Decision Support Systems can alert health professionals about drug interactions when they prescribe medications. The Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires in Argentina developed an electronic health record with dru...

Meeting user requirements of a software system has been a major challenge to software developers. Experience in a number of large projects reveals that a very large percentage of errors were made at the earlier stages o...

Nowadays, technology has become the key element to carry out the management, organization and fulfillment of the electoral process. The electoral process should be understood as the actions that entail the making of the ...

Many methodologies have been proposed to systematize the software development process. Many of them have been widely adopted. However, the majority has focused on analysis and design. Requirements have frequently been fo...

This paper presents a pilot study that raised the estimate of functional size in the very early stages of software development. The goal is to find a relationship between some measures of artifacts produced in the Requir...

The structured techniques for systems analysis and design are still the most widely known. One of the alternatives of this technique is the JAD methodology (Joint Application Design). This methodology is an improvement w...

At present, the early phase of Requirements Engineering is a new research area in the Software Engineering field. This phase is concerned with the analysis of the organizational context in which a software system will be...

In spite of years of research and development, formal structured estimation of time and effort required to develop a Management Information System (MIS) is still an open problem. Usual estimation techniques applied by no...

In these days most robotic systems tend to be complex to maintain and reuse because existing frameworks are based mainly on code-driven approaches. This means the software development process is reduced to the implementa...

Reuse-oriented software methodologies have emerged to provide a set of rules or guides for development and evolution of software systems by reusing existing domain engineering artefacts such as requirements, architecture...

Systems development methodologies continue to be a central area of research in software engineering. As the nature of applications and systems usage move increasingly towards open networked environments, not only are new...

Object-oriented software development process, such as the Unified Process [Jacobson 99], Catalysis [D´Souza 98] and Fusion [Coleman 94] among others, is a set of activities needed to transform user’s requirements into...

The requirements elicitation phase of software development projects is characterised by the intensity and importance of communication activities. Requirements elicitation is a traditional exploratory phase in which conte...
