Introduction Knowledge elicitation consists of a set of techniques and methods that attempt to elicit the knowledge of a domain expert1, typically through some form of direct interaction with the expert. Knowledge elicitation is a sub-process of knowledge acquisition (which deals with the acquisition or capture of knowledge from any source), and knowledge acquisition is, in turn, a sub-process ...

Abstract : an approach for managing complexity through requirements elicitation and traceability model. The approach makes use of two approaches development. The first on a traceability model that have been developed and applied to a complex industrial system and a requirement elicitation approach and tool. The paper makes use of these approaches and show how a traceability even at requirement ...

The process is resource intensive, as it concerns with a lot of dedicated stakeholders gathering ...

BACKGROUND The factors influencing elicitation responses in individuals allergic to p-phenylenediamine (PPD) in hair dyes are not well understood. OBJECTIVES Investigation of the elicitation response to the new, less-sensitizing PPD alternative 2-methoxymethyl-p-phenylenediamine (ME-PPD) under simulated hair dye use conditions. METHODS The cross-elicitation response to ME-PPD (2% in a hair ...

Alterations in the structure of the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) coat protein affect the elicitation of the N' gene hypersensitive response (HR) in Nicotiana sylvestris. To investigate this structure-function relationship, amino acid substitutions with predicted structural effects were created throughout the known structure of the TMV coat protein. Substitutions that resulted in the elicitation o...

Subjective beliefs are crucial for economic inference, yet behavior can challenge the elicitation. We propose that belief elicitation should be incentive compatible not only theoretically but also in a de facto behavioral sense. To demonstrate, we show binarized scoring rule, state-of-the-art elicitation, violates two weak conditions compatibility: (i) within information on incentives increases...

Abstract Requirements elicitation is a stakeholder-centered approach; therefore, natural language remains an effective way of documenting and validating requirements. As the scope software domain grows, analysts process higher number requirements documents, generating delays errors while characterizing domain. Natural processing key in such process, allowing for speeding up mitigating impact am...

EPMcreate is a creativity technique for requirements elicitation based on a 16-step process. These steps suggest focusing on requirements related to every combination of two different target users or viewpoints. A series of experiments confirmed its feasibility; its applicability, both as individual and group technique; and its greater effectiveness than brainstorming. However, analysts involve...

We present a tutorial introduction to the area of preference handling – one of the core issues in the design of any system that automates or supports decision making. The main goal of this tutorial is to provide a framework, or perspective, within which current work on preference handling – representation, reasoning, and elicitation – can be understood. Our intention is not to provide a technic...

The aim of this work is to assess the performance of a maintenance policy when a stochastic model of the life of the component of interest is known, but relies on parameters that are imprecisely known, and only through information elicited from experts. The case in which the information used to feed the model comes from a single expert has been investigated by the authors in a previous work. Th...
