In this paper, we review current requirements engineering (RE) research and identify future
research directions suggested by emerging software needs. First, we overview the state of …

Abstract Model transformation is one of the basic principles of Model Driven Architecture. To
build a software system, a sequence of transformations is performed, starting from …

Extracting conceptual models from natural language requirements can help identify
dependencies, redundancies, and conflicts between requirements via a holistic and easy-to …

Natural language (NL) is still the predominant notation that practitioners use to represent
software requirements. Albeit easy to read, NL does not readily highlight key concepts and …

We propose a software requirements analysis method based on domain ontology technique,
where we can establish a mapping between a software requirements specification and the …

Going from requirements analysis to design phase is considered as one of the most complex
and difficult activities in software development. Errors caused during this activity can be quite …

Organizing phenomena into classes is a pervasive human activity. The ability to classify
phenomena encountered in daily life in useful ways is essential to human survival and …

Ensuring compliance of software systems with government regulations, policies, and laws is
a complex problem. Generally speaking, solutions to the problem first identify rights and …

Discovery, specification and proper representation of various aspects of business
knowledge plays crucial part in model-driven information systems engineering, especially …

Early phases of software development are known to be problematic, difficult to manage and
errors occurring during these phases are expensive to correct. Many systems have been …
