....of the environment of the product and the product specification itself. The former expresses how the environment will behave in presence of the product [14] while the latter focusses on the description of the behavior of the product. Similar distinctions are made in the Esprit project Nature [16]. The concept of external entity is well known from structured analysis [9] The importance of subject orientation for modeling data intensive system requirements was pointed out by Chen [6] Jackson [13] showed that subject orientation is useful for a significant number of controlintensive ....

....major difference between both approaches is the notion of generic layers as well as the clear separation of data and control flow aspects in the KARL model of expertise. The construction and reuse of models as part of requirements engineering has gained a lot of interests in recent years (see e.g.(Jarke et al.,1993)) In (Sutcliff,Maiden,1994) the notion of object system models is introduced for describing types of applications like e.g. object composition (which can be instantiated to manufacturing systems) or agent object control (which can be instantiated to command and control applications) Such object ....

Quite appropriately, these concerns non functional requirements (quality requirements, hereafter NFRs) have been recognized as playing a crucial role in requirements engineering [30, 17, 19]. But how do we deal with such NFRs In the past, relatively little attention has been paid to the process of systematically dealing with NFRs. For example, NFRs (e.g. how to securely [1] update an account) often are retrofitted late in the development process, or pursued in parallel with, but ....

....Two consecutive large European (ESPRIT) projects have focused on requirements engineering. From 1992 to 1995, the N ATURE project (Novel Approaches to Theories Underlying Requirements Engineering) produced theories and tools for knowledge representation, domain engineering, and process engineering[112][113] The success of N ATURE led to the CREWS project, from 1996 to 1999. The CREWS (Cooperative Requirements Engineering with Scenarios) project developed, evaluated, and demonstrated the applicability of, methods and tools for cooperative scenario based requirements elicitation and ....

The architectural design and computational mechanisms of the CREWS toolkit build on results from the earlier ESPRIT 6353 NATURE basic research action (Jarke et al. 1993).

Each OSM encapsulates the knowledge of normative system behaviour of all application domains which are instances of that OSM or problem domain template. A scenario ....

The ESPRIT 6353 NATURE basic research action (Jarke et al. 1993) has identified a large set of domain templates, known as object system models, to guide requirements engineers.

....[81] Using the three dimensions, for each action a prediction, how the specification will change after the actions was applied, can be made. For example for validation at least a prediction can be made, that after the validation, the specification dimension will be improved. Within the NATURE [50] project it is assumed, that the basic building block of any process can be modelled as a triplet situation, decision, action [43] A process model based on this assumption for supporting the RE process within the three dimensions is currently under development. The last two feature, to be ....

....We have there chosen to represent the requirements specification as a structured description of eight interrelated sub models . The sub model concept is to some extent similar to the view of requirements modelling in the DAIDA and NATURE projects, where four modelling worlds are introduced [5, 6, 7]. In our approach, the following eight sub models (worlds) are suggested. The objectives sub model describes, the why , the long term intention or vision of the enterprise we are discussing or designing. The concept sub model describes what things (phenomena) we are talking about, using a ....

....for analysing and integrating these viewpoints, despite its necessity when handling large scale requirement specifications. This paper describes two novel computational mechanisms and a distributed data base design which have been designed as part of the ESPRIT NATURE basic research action (Jarke et al. 1993) to provide part of a comprehensive solution for distributed requirement engineering. There has been little research into computational mechanisms for reasoning about viewpoints. These mechanisms must, among other things, reason using different representations and detect semantic differences as ....

....consistencies within viewpoints but permit global inconsistencies between viewpoints. In addition, people work apart but access a common data base containing the requirement specification and definitions of commonlyused models such as problem abstractions (Maiden Sutcliffe 1994) process models (Jarke et al. 1993) and notations, thus posing additional problems for architectures which support these languages. This paper proposes three novel and interrelated research directions within the ESPRIT NATURE project (Jarke et al. 1993) as solutions for distributed requirements engineering, namely domain modelling ....
