Requirements elicitation research is reviewed using a framework categorising the
relativeknowness' of requirements specification and Common Ground discourse theory. The …

CONTEXT: Choosing a design solution most often involves dealing with trade-offs and
conflicts among requirements and design objectives. Making such trade-offs during early …

Abstract In Design by Shopping, designers explore the design space to gain an insight into
trades, and feasible and impractical solutions, as well as to learn about alternatives before …

We propose to view architecting as a risk-and cost management discipline. This point of
view helps architects identify the key concerns to address in their decision making, by …

A key aspect of engineering secure systems is identifying adequate security requirements to
protect critical assets from harm. However, security requirements may compete with other …

In cyber‐physical systems such as robots and automated vehicles that rely heavily on
batteries, safety, and energy conservation can result conflicting requirements when not …

Security risk assessment in the requirements phase is challenging because risk factors,
such as probability and damage of attacks, are not always numerically measurable or …

In this paper we discuss the issues relating the evaluation and reporting of security
assurance of runtime systems. We first highlight the shortcomings of current initiatives in …

Simultaneously satisfying multiple interacting and possibly conflicting software requirements
is challenging. Quantitative cost-benefit analysis of alternative solutions is often hard or …

As security is a growing concern for modern information systems, Security Requirements
Engineering has been developed as a very active area of research. A large body of work …
