Stakeholders-Driven Requirements Semantics Acquisition for Networked Software Systems

Abstract

Large-scale and complex system exhibits adaptive feature, and evolutionary emergence of collective behaviors is its fundamental phenomena. Considering service oriented requirements engineering (SORE), this paper explores requirements semantics acquisition technique and analyzes its adaptive feature. The strategy of evolutionary growth to gain domain specific requirements semantics model is proposed. Also, this approach combines with folks and experts intelligence to create requirements semantics. The instantiation of semantics is performed based on this model. The semantic model can facilitate consistency check and reasoning for high-quality requirements. By employing the functions provided by semantic wikis, a stakeholders-driven semantics acquisition platform for pre requirements is designed. Apart from traditional documentary specification, on-demand semantics artifacts will be exported to the subsequent services aggregation and semantics-driven service customization.
