This book introduces readers to the fundamentals of the IEC 62559 Use Case Methodology
explains how it is related to the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) and details how a
holistic view for both architecture and requirements engineering can be achieved. It describes
a standardized and holistic approach to requirements engineering for smart grid projects based
on work conducted in the context of the EU M 490 standardization mandate. Over the last years
this method has been established in Europe as the basic building block of requirements
engineering in the utilities sector. The authors present a canonical structured approach that
users can apply to the Use Case Methodology and the SGAM as well as open tools for this
purpose. The application in various domains outside the smart grid is also discussed as it can
be used for critical infrastructures or system-of-systems domains like Industrie 4.0 and
Ambient Assisted Living. Accordingly the book also presents various architecture models for
different fields of application like EMAM SCIAM RAMI 4.0 and MAF.
