The benefits of cloud computing approaches are well known but designing logical architectures for that context can be complicated. Prior to designing a logical architecture, a proper requirements elicitation must be executed. When requirements are not properly elicited, and there are insufficient inputs for a product approach to requirements elicitation, a process-level perspective is an altern...

This study applies theory Channel Expansion Theory to assess factors that influence analyst perceptions of the richness of requirements elicitation techniques. These perceptions of richness are of interest as communication research has shown that richness perceptions are related to selection and effective use of communication channels. We find that an analyst’s experience with a requirements el...

Requirements elicitation is the process of seeking, uncovering, acquiring, and elaborating requirements for computer based systems. It is generally understood that requirements are elicited rather than just captured or collected. This implies there are discovery, emergence, and development elements to the elicitation process. Requirements elicitation is a complex process involving many activiti...

Many challenges arise in global software development projects, most of which are related to the lack of face-to-face communication and people’s need to feel comfortable with the technology that they use. In this paper we introduce a methodology to detect the problems which may occur during the global requirement elicitation process and propose solutions to reduce them.

The complexity and the extension of tasks in the world today demand an extensive interaction among people with different knowledge backgrounds, who need to work in cooperation, aiming at a common goal. In this paper, we present a method to model the tasks and actions that a group of users carries out when working cooperatively through a computational system integace. For this purpose, we use sc...

Requirements elicitation tends to focus on stakeholders' primary goals, whether these are modelled as processes or use cases. However, exception cases often outnumber 'normal' cases and can drive project cost. This paper describes an experiment to see whether scenarios could effectively drive the search for exceptions. Experienced engineers asked to specifi a small system found three times as m...

With the advent of context aware applications into the learning scenario, the context in which the application is being run becomes an inherent aspect of the learning activity carried out with the system. It is always a challenging aspect to identify and understand the contextual elements and their role in the underlying application. This demands the need to make more contextual elements’ categ...

Context: This work proposes a model to document the elicitation of requirements in field Requirements Engineering. Method: A systematic review literature was conducted determine validity and effectiveness existing models for documenting elicitation. Results: By analyzing results this review, it concluded that is possible – required take best documented practices add principles from logic, abstr...
