The requirements elicitation phase is often regarded as the most critical stage of the entire software engineering effort with strong evidence suggesting that increasing the effectiveness of requirements analysts and reducing requirements elicitation errors may be the key to improve project outcomes and deliver high quality software. This paper presents a requirements elicitation approach and a...

Eliciting the value proposition in Value Based Software Engineering (VBSE) is critical. Everything within VBSE is dependent on the value propositions of success critical stakeholder (SCSs). This paper present presents a novel approach for elicitation of value from the SCSs from different dimensions. We propose a Value Elicitation Framework (VEF) in order to resolve the problem of selection and ...

this study was performed to investigate the effect of ag+ as an elicitor on the activity of antioxidant enzymes, content of h2o2, accumulation of total tocopherol and antioxidant activity in hairy root cultures of silybum marianum (l.) gaertn. the hairy roots were treated with 2 mm ag+. the treated and non-treated hairy roots were harvested in the same time and data on h2o2 content, dpph, tocop...

We present a web-based probability distribution elicitation tool: The MATCH Uncertainty Elicitation Tool. The Tool is designed to help elicit probability distributions about uncertain model parameters from experts, in situations where suitable data is either unavailable or sparse. The Tool is free to use, and offers five different techniques for eliciting univariate probability distributions. A...

Requirements elicitation is concerned with the extraction of users’ requirements, which involves cognitive, social, communication, and technical issues. There are many techniques to elicit requirements each having its strengths and weaknesses. However, some of them are misused, others are never used and only a few are applied again and again. The reason is that analysts have a difficulty of dec...

this research explores the effects of three computer-mediated feedback modalities, that is, elicitation, recast, and meta-linguistics, on the learning of english participial, gerund, and infinitival phrases among iranian intermediate-level efl learners. the overriding focus of the present study was to investigate whether different types of feedback given through form-focused computer-human exch...

Nigella sativa L. (family Ranunculaceae) is an annual herb of immense medicinal properties because of its major active components (i.e., thymoquinone (TQ), thymohydroquinone (THQ), and thymol (THY)). Plant tissue culture techniques like elicitation, Agrobacterium mediated transformation, hairy root culture, and so on, are applied for substantial metabolite production. This study enumerates the ...

The success of any software development cycle for producing the software product is based on the software requirements. The elicitation of requirements is the first and most important activity in the Requirement Engineering (RE). The problems in requirement elicitation process will result in poor requirements which can lead to the development of unsatisfactory software system. Moreover, the dev...

Expert knowledge is used widely in the science and practice of conservation because of the complexity of problems, relative lack of data, and the imminent nature of many conservation decisions. Expert knowledge is substantive information on a particular topic that is not widely known by others. An expert is someone who holds this knowledge and who is often deferred to in its interpretation. We ...
