The aspect-oriented user requirements notation: aspects, goals, and scenarios

Abstract

This tutorial discusses aspect-oriented requirements engineering, focusing on scenario-based and goal-oriented requirements models with the Aspect-oriented User Requirements Notation (AoURN). AoURN is an extension of the User Requirements Notation (URN), a recent international modeling standard for requirements engineering published by the International Telecommunication Union. AoURN is a strong candidate for inclusion in future versions of the standard. While the tutorial gives a thorough introduction to AoURN, it places particular emphasis on AoURN's advanced composition mechanisms which enable interleaved and semantics-enhanced compositions. In addition, the impact of aspect-orientation on existing URN analysis capabilities is discussed.
