DESIGN REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING A TEN-YEAR PERS...

Since its inception in 1968  software engineering has undergone numerous changes. In the early
years  software development was organized using the waterfall model  where the focus of
requirements engineering was on a frozen requirements document  which formed the basis of the
subsequent design and implementation process. Since then  a lot has changed: software has to be
developed faster  in larger and distributed teams  for pervasive as well as large-scale
applications  with more flexibility  and with ongoing maintenance and quick release cycles.
What do these ongoing developments and changes imply for the future of requirements engineering
and software design? Now is the time to rethink the role of requirements and design for
software intensive systems in transportation  life sciences  banking  e-government and other
areas. Past assumptions need to be questioned  research and education need to be rethought.
This book is based on the Design Requirements Workshop  held June 3-6  2007  in Cleveland  OH 
USA  where leading researchers met to assess the current state of affairs and define new
directions. The papers included were carefully reviewed and selected to give an overview of the
current state of the art as well as an outlook on probable future challenges and priorities.
After a general introduction to the workshop and the related NSF-funded project  the
contributions are organized in topical sections on fundamental concepts of design  evolution
and the fluidity of design  quality and value-based requirements  requirements intertwining 
and adapting requirements practices in different domains.
