The requirements elicitation process is particularly difficult in Global Software Development (GSD) environments owing principally to cultural differences and communication problems derived from the geographical distance that separates stakeholders. For this reason it is necessary to train professionals in the skills needed to confront a requirements elicitation process in a GSD environment. In...

Requirement elicitation is a very important step into developing any new application. This article will examine the culture effect on requirement elicitation in developing countries. This is unique research that will look at requirement elicitation process in 10 different parts of the world including Arab word, India, China, Africa and South America. The focus is how the culture affect RE and m...

While requirements elicitation has been established as a crucial phase of the systems development process, empirical research on the topic of requirements elicitation is sparse. In this paper we present a requirements elicitation scenario that can be used by researchers to evaluate different methods of eliciting a set of requirements. This scenario consists of an elicitation tasks, a system fea...

Many of the current traditional system engineering (TSE) approaches for elicitation of requirements are insufficient when deployed in complex situations. TSE approach to requirement elicitation is based on assumption of stable environmental conditions. However, the elicitation of requirements for complex systems (i.e., interdependent critical infrastructures) requires innovative approaches that...

If belief elicitation during repeated game play changes game play, using stated beliefs to evaluate and compare theories of strategic action is problematic. We experimentally verify that belief elicitation can alter paths of play in a repeated asymmetric matching pennies game. Belief elicitation improves the goodness of fit of structural models of belief learning, and the prior “inferred belief...

In large IS development projects a huge number of natural language documents becomes available and needs to be analyzed and transformed into structured requirements. This elicitation process is known to be time-consuming and error-prone when performed manually by a requirements engineer. Thus, there is a clear demand for advanced support of the entire elicitation process. Our work focuses on pr...

In Requirements Engineering, requirements elicitation aims the acquisition of information from the stakeholders of a system-to-be. An important task during elicitation is to identify and render explicit the stakeholders’ implicit assumptions about the system-to-be and its environment. Purpose of doing so is to identify omissions in, and conflicts between requirements. This paper offers a concep...

Requirements changes are sometimes pointed out as being one of the causes for project failure. Our solution to cope with this problem is to plan and manage requirements changes strategically. This paper introduces the PRINCE model that consists of 3+1 types of requirements elicitation processes based on the time of the maturation of the requirements elicitation activity. To explain the model, w...

No requirements elicitation technique has capability of finding all of the software requirements so we have to use variety of techniques that will help us to cover all the requirements, resulting in more effective elicitation. Each technique has its features which makes it different from all other techniques and which make it suitable for a particular condition. The important thing is to use th...

Goal Oriented Requirements Elicitation Process (GOREP) is used to identify the requirements of software using AND/OR graph. Requirements elicitation plays an important role for the identification of software's functional and non-functional requirements. The objective of this paper is twofold; firstly, we classify different requirements elicitation techniques on the basis of different crite...
