Theme: Requirements Engineering and Design
Web: Permalink to this page


Work in this theme looks at tools and techniques for exploring the problem context and requirements, which provide:

• a description of the problem in a form fit-for-purpose for building a solution;
• tracking of the context as it changes, and its impact of the problem;
• tracking of the requirements as they change, and their impact on the problem.

It includes research on:

• foundations: reference models and semantics
• techniques: Problem Frames, AFrames, Composition Frames, Change State Model, Problem transformations
• applications: Socio-technical systems, distributed trust management, forensic analysis
• process models: co-development of requirements and architectures, relating problem and solution structures, prioritisation and change management
