Welcome to IFIP 2.9 Requirements Engineering

Aims

The aim of the Working Group is to develop a better understanding of:

the elicitation, specification, analysis and management of the requirements for large and complex software intensive systems;
the interpretation and documentation of those requirements in such a way as to permit the developer to construct a system which will satisfy them.

Scope

The Scope of the WG includes all aspects of requirements engineering. Some examples of areas of special interest are:

formal representation schemes and requirements modelling;
descriptions of the requirements engineering process;
tools and environments to support requirements engineering;
requirements engineering methods;
requirements analysis and validation;
requirements elicitation, acquisition and formalisation;
methods and tools for verification of an implementation’s compliance with requirements;
reuse and adaptation of requirements;
domain modelling and analysis;
requirements engineering for distributed, safety-critical, composite, real-time and embedded systems.
