In this article a natural language and scenario based approach to requirements engineering
is presented. Starting with an informal description, a scenario, of a certain function of the …

The information system analysis process is considered as a difficult phase during the
information systems development. The difficulty lies in gathering relevant information from …

An important activity in requirements engineering is validation, which is the process of
checking whether a model correctly represents a piece of reality and the users' …

The system metaphor was proposed in Extreme Programming as a lightweight alternative to
more rigorous architecture practices, but many teams have trouble using metaphors …

The information captured in business process models can be utilized for many artifacts in the
organizations. However, relations between the models and related artifacts are usually …

In this paper we outline an architecture and design principles to support the validation of
conceptual models by generation of explanations in natural language. The architecture …

The STEP/EXPRESS standard is one of the most complex ever developed. Understanding
its workings is not an easy task for new users. Designers and other persons involved in the …

Conceptual modelling and theory building are tightly bundled together, since conceptual
models are one way to express one's thoughts, assumptions, beliefs and convictions …

In this paper, we describe a text generation method used in our novel approach to
requirements validation in software engineering by paraphrasing a requirements model …

An increasing number of conceptual modelling techniques use verbalisation of sample data
to derive a model for the given universe of discourse (the problem domain). The underlying …
