Since its inception in 1968, software engineering has undergone
numerous changes. In the early years, software development was
organized using the waterfall model, where the focus of
requirements engineering was on a frozen requirements document,
which formed the basis of the subsequent design and implementation
process. Since then, a lot has changed: software has to be
developed faster, in larger and distributed teams, for pervasive as
well as large-scale applications, with more flexibility, and with
ongoing maintenance and quick release cycles.
What do these ongoing developments and changes imply for the
future of requirements engineering and software design? Now is the
time to rethink the role of requirements and design for software
intensive systems in transportation, life sciences, banking,
e-government and other areas. Past assumptions need to be
questioned, research and education need to be rethought.
This book is based on the Design Requirements Workshop, held
June 3-6, 2007, in Cleveland, OH, USA, where leading researchers
met to assess the current state of affairs and define new
directions. The papers included were carefully reviewed and
selected to give an overview of the current state of the art as
well as an outlook on probable future challenges and priorities.
After a general introduction to the workshop and the related
NSF-funded project, the contributions are organized in topical
sections on fundamental concepts of design; evolution and the
fluidity of design; quality and value-based requirements;
requirements intertwining; and adapting requirements practices in
different domains.
