Requirements for Evolving Systems: A Telecommunications Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
In many software application domains, constant evolution is the dominant problem, shaping both software design and the software process. Telecommunication software is the prototypical example of such an application domain. This paper examines how requirements engineering, formal description techniques, and formal methods should be adapted to work well in these application domains.

Open Microkernel Technology, Key to Evolving Telecommunication Systems and Networks
Today's telecommunications companies are facing a serious software crisis. They need to preserve and leverage their enormous software base on rapidly evolving hardware architectures, while extending it as quickly as possible. The computer industry faced a similar problem and solved it with UNIX. However, traditional UNIX by itself does not meet the requirements of most telecommunication applica...

متن کاملPotentials of Evolving Linear Models in Tracking Control Design for Nonlinear Variable Structure Systems
Evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. In this paper, potentials of the Evolving Linear Models (ELMs) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. At first, an ELM is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (SISO) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...
متن کاملAgainst Structured Approaches: Information Requirements Analysis as a Socially Mediated Process
Information systems (IS) development approaches are considered with particular reference to information requirements analysis. The majority can be classified as adopting a unitary, objective perspective. This fails to fully recognise the interpretative, inter-subjective nature of information and the importance of informal as well as formal data processing systems. This paper aims to contribute ...
