Abstract

With the advance of modern technologies, computer-based systems for animals are gaining popularity. In particular, there is an explosion of products and gadgets for pets: wellness monitoring applications (e.g., FitBark and PetPace), automatic food dispensers, cognitive enrichment apps, and many more. Furthermore, the discipline of Animal-Computer Interaction has emerged, focusing on a user-centric development of technologies for animals, making them stakeholders in the development process. Animal-centric technologies have already been developed to support activities of rescue and assistance dogs, to provide environmental and cognitive enrichment for animals in captivity, and to support conservation and animal behavior research. Going beyond human stakeholders poses new exciting challenges for requirement engineering and can be used to significantly expand its boundaries under broader theoretical and methodological frameworks. This paper highlights these challenges and proposes a research agenda for developing methodologies for requirement elicitation and analysis for a user-centric development of computerized systems for non-human users.

推动RE的边界:非人类用户的需求引出

随着现代技术的进步，基于计算机的动物系统越来越受欢迎。特别是，宠物产品和小工具的爆炸式增长:健康监测应用程序(例如FitBark和PetPace)、自动食物分配器、认知增强应用程序等等。此外，动物-计算机交互学科已经出现，专注于以用户为中心的动物技术开发，使它们成为开发过程中的利益相关者。以动物为中心的技术已经被开发出来，以支持救援和援助犬的活动，为圈养动物提供环境和认知的丰富，并支持保护和动物行为研究。超越人类涉众对需求工程提出了新的令人兴奋的挑战，并且可以用于在更广泛的理论和方法框架下显着扩展其边界。本文强调了这些挑战，并提出了一个研究议程，用于为非人类用户的以用户为中心的计算机化系统开发需求引出和分析的开发方法。
