Building a Narrative Based Requirements Engineering Mediation Model

چکیده
This paper presents a narrative-based Requirements Engineering (RE) mediation model to help RE practitioners to effectively identify, define, and resolve conflicts of interest, goals, and requirements. With SPI community, there is a common belief that social, human, and organizational issues significantly impact on the effectiveness of the software process improvement in general and requirements engineering process in particularly. Conflicts among different stakeholders are an important human and social issue that needs more research attention in the SPI and RE community. By drawing on the conflict resolution literature and IS literature, we argue that conflict resolution in RE is a mediated process, in which a requirements engineer can act as a mediator among different stakeholders. To address socio-psychological aspect of the conflict in RE and SPI, Winslade and Monk (2000)’s narrative mediation model is introduced, justified, and translated into the context of RE.

Using Mediation Theory to Build a Requirements Conflict Resolution Model
Conflict is a common phenomenon in our daily life and as such conflict has an important impact on Requirements Engineering (RE). However, in the current RE literature, conflict is often addressed in terms of a technical issue leading to inconsistency in the requirements specification. Little attention is given to the socio-psychological aspects of the conflict. Furthermore, previous RE work typ...

Interactive narratives are branching stories with events that change based on feedback from participants. One method of generating interactive narratives is a planbased process called mediation. A sub-process within mediation called accommodation creates new story content when a participant deviates from the main storyline. We show that a model of character knowledge allows accommodation to fin...
متن کاملBuilding a narrative conversational agent using a component-based architecture
This paper describes a component based-model for a Narrative Conversational Agent. This project has to interact with a child in a storytelling environment as natural as possible and replace the previous version of the platform, where the actions were triggered manually by a psychologist. The prototype was carried out as a student project, and had the goal to integrate existing components and li...
متن کاملThere’s More to the Story: Using Narrative Analysis to Examine Requirements Engineering as a Social Process
Within the information systems community considerable emphasis is placed on studying problems with methods based on the natural science model. However, an information system influences and is influenced by the social environment in which it is introduced. This has led researchers to call for interdisciplinary approaches which draw on other disciplines to study information systems phenomena. In ...
متن کاملAN Improved UTD Based Model For The Multiple Building Diffraction Of Plane Waves In Urban Environments By Using Higher Order Diffraction Coeficients
This paper describes an improved model for multiple building diffraction modeling based on the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD). A well-known problem in conventional uniform theory of diffraction (CUTD) is multiple-edge transition zone diffraction. Here, higher order diffracted fields are used in order to improve the result; hence, we use higher order diffraction coefficients to improve a hy...
