This mini tutorial explains the concepts and process of scenario based requirements engineering. Definitions of scenarios are reviewed, with their informal and more formal representations, and roles in the requirements process. The relationships between scenarios, specifications and prototypes is explored, and set in the perspective of human reasoning about requirements. Methods for scenario ba...

Despite the recent interest in scenarios, the development of new methods and tools for Requirements Engineering integrating scenario based approaches has been limited. This paper reports on four different processes developed from research undertaken as part of the CREWS project which the authors believe will improve scenario use and make it more systematic. Furthermore CREWS aims to integrate t...

Let us, first, very briefly look into the interaction between mathematics and other fields of knowledge. In most of the cases, this interaction has been two way. The obvious one is the application of mathematics to other areas and the less obvious one is that these domains stimulate the development of new mathematics. The traditional example of this two way interaction is between mathematics an...

In this paper, we engage with O‟Brien‟s (2004) identification of both pitfalls in teaching scenario planning and proposed remedies for these. We consider these remedies in relation to our own experience based on our practice in both the academic and business arenas and we highlight further pitfalls and proposed remedies. Finally, we propose the use of “hard” multi-attribute decision analysis as...

We describe a CSCL scenario through which socio-economic and cultural differences between countries can be exploited for teaching community health to medical students in Switzerland, Tunisia, Cameroon and Lebanon. This scenario is structured around phases and roles. In order to stimulate social interaction, the activities rely on the confrontation of different national health contexts and diffe...

This paper, presents an introduction of ELT curriculum of English in school level, current status of ELT achievement in Surkhet district, issues, challenges and problems overwhelmed around ELT in community-based schools, strategies to enhance the competence and performance of teachers...

This study investigated whether problem-based learning (PBL) was an effective strategy for nursing students learning anatomy and physiology. Anatomy and physiology are subject areas that have posed long standing difficulty for nursing students. Since anatomy and physiology underpin clinical decision making it is important that nursing students are able to understand and retain this knowledge an...
