Reasons are the large expenditure of time for organizing and carrying out surveys as well as the time it takes to understand the users¿ requirements and to formulate them textually. But even textually formulated requirements are not sufficient, as users are no experts, do not have enough time beside their job to model complex requirements and describe their requirements properly. It is therefore necessary to formulate the requirements visually. Actual methods are too complex and inefficient, because they need training and can¿t be integrated into the day-to-day business of end-users. Thus, users should be able to annotate their ideas directly on their screen and submit them to a web based collaboration platform. The main goal is to obtain complete requirements and, simultaneously, to save the time of all stakeholders in the whole development process.","PeriodicalId":185193,"journal":{"name":"2006 First International Workshop on Multimedia Requirements Engineering (MERE'06 - RE'06 Workshop)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122918006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It often happens that requirements are either recorded only partially or not at all. Also, commonly, the rationale behind the requirements is not recorded or may be recorded, but is not accessible for the developers who need this information to support the decision making process when requirements change or need clarification. Our proposed framework is designed to solve those problems by using video to record the requirements elicitation meetings and automatically extract important stakeholder statements. Those statements are made available to the project members as video clips by using an RE database to access the statements and/or by the integration with the Sysiphus system.","PeriodicalId":185193,"journal":{"name":"2006 First International Workshop on Multimedia Requirements Engineering (MERE'06 - RE'06 Workshop)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122062320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As statements related to system qualities such as security, performance, and portability are often scattered throughout statements of functional need, the ability to \"listen in\" on a conversation and correctly capture these statements into a single view is very helpful. The approach is intended to enhance and not replace existing elicitation methods in which stakeholders are more directly asked to describe their needs. Training a speech detection tool to recognize individual users is time consuming while speech detection for un-enrolled users is notoriously difficult. Our approach uses a context-free grammar to boost recognition accuracy, segment the stakeholders' utterances and finally to classify the recognized statements by quality type. This paper describes the preliminary results from experiments with different subjects and then discusses methods for optimizing the recognition and capture of non-functional requirements and contextual domain terms.","PeriodicalId":185193,"journal":{"name":"2006 First International Workshop on Multimedia Requirements Engineering (MERE'06 - RE'06 Workshop)","volume":"os-7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127758225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
