Composition of a New Process to Meet Agile Needs Using Method Engineering
2005
The need of developing a new software engineering process to allow the quick prototyping of some robotic applications and meet the requests by some companies for a development process that was shorter than PASSI, gave us the opportunity of applying our studies on the assembling of a new SEP by reusing parts (called method fragments) from other processes. In this paper we discuss our approach that, starting from the method engineering paradigm, adapts and extends it considering specific agent-oriented issues like the multi-agent system meta-model. The final result of our experiment (Agile PASSI) is presented together with the requirements that motivated its structure. © Springer-Verlag Berli…
Allowing End-Users to Actively Participate within the Elicitation of Pervasive System Requirements through Immediate Visualization
2009
Efficient requirements engineering activities are essential in order to develop software systems that properly satisfy end-user needs. End-users lack knowledge about requirements engineering techniques or computation in general, and it is very important that they actively participate in the requirements elicitation process because they are the "owners" of the problem. In this paper, we present a tool-supported requirements elicitation technique that is centered on end-users and that allows them to describe the main characteristics of pervasive systems. In addition, we provide end-users with an immediate natural visualization of the described requirements. Furthermore, we present a requireme…
Smart Sustainable Development Approach and its Implementation in Engineering Organizations
2014
This paper explores the concept of sustainability in engineering systems and proposes a smart conceptual framework for engineering organization development. Sustainability is a critically complex goal for enterprise activity and development. Sustainability in the engineering area requires a comprehensive and continue approach because, a) engineering activities are ubiquitous in society, b) of the high importance of engineering applications in the development of the companies and of the world, and c) technological support becomes imminent in a dynamic economic environment and sustained in large part by technological advances. This paper aims to provide to the engineering environment a smart …
Identification of blanket design points using an integrated multi-physics approach
2017
Abstract The breeding blanket (BB) is one of the key components for a fusion reactor. It is expected to sustain and remove considerable heat loads due to the heat flux coming from the plasma and the nuclear power deposited by the fusion neutrons. In the design of the BB, the engineering requirements of nuclear, material and safety kind are involved. In the European DEMO project, several efforts are dedicated to the development of an integrated simulation-design tool able to perform a multi-physics analysis, allowing the characterisation of BB design points which are consistent from the neutronic, thermal-hydraulic and thermo-mechanical point of view. Furthermore, at Karlsruhe Institute of T…
Hypotheses engineering : first essential steps of experiment-driven software development
2019
Recent studies have proposed the use of experiments to guide software development in order to build features that the user really wants. Some authors argue that this approach represents a new way to develop software that is different from the traditional requirement-driven one. In this position paper, we propose the discipline of Hypotheses Engineering in comparison to Requirements Engineering, highlighting the importance of proper handling hypotheses that guide experiments. We derive a set of practices within this discipline and present how the literature has tackled them up to now. Finally, we propose a set of research questions that could guide future work towards helping practitioners. …
Joukkoistamisen käyttö vaatimusmäärittelyssä : tapaustutkimus
2017
Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman lähtökohta oli tutkia, miten joukkoistamista voidaan käyttää vaatimusmäärittelyssä. Kirjallisuuskatsauksen lisäksi luotiin joukkoistetun vaatimusmäärittelyn malli sekä tehtiin tapaustutkimus KoiraNet jalostustietojärjestelmän MH-luonnekuvausta koskevaan dataan liittyvien käyttötarpeiden selvittämisestä ja joukkoistetusta vaatimusmäärittelystä. Joukkoistaminen tapahtui projektia varten luodussa Facebook-ryhmässä, johon saatiin avoimella kutsulla kaikkiaan 107 jäsentä. Tutkimuksen tuloksiin lukeutui paitsi kerätyt vaatimukset, myös joukon aktiivisuudesta tehdyt määrälliset havainnot. Joukkoistamalla kerättyjen vaatimusten laadun arvioimiseksi suoritettiin erilliset…
Managing and prioritizing requirements risks in information systems development
2018
Tietojärjestelmien suunnittelussa ja toteutuksessa järjestelmän tavoite ja ominaisuudet kuvataan tietojärjestelmän vaatimuksina. Tietojärjestelmävaatimusten keräämisen, kehittämisen ja hallinnan prosessit tietojärjestelmien kehityksessä tähtäävät siihen, että järjestelmän vaatimukset saadaan koottua sidosryhmiltä, ne analysoidaan huolellisesti ja ilmaistaan vaatimukset järjestelmän kehittäjille asianmukaisessa muodossa. Tämä menettely mahdollistaa käyttötarkoitusta vastaava järjestelmän toteuttamisen. Tämän päivän tietojärjestelmäkehityksessä erilaisten ketterien kehitysmallien merkitys on kasvanut, ja voidaankin perustellusti väittää, että erilaiset ketterien menetelmien sovellutukset ovat…

The Design Science Research Process : A Model for Producing and Presenting Information Systems Research
2006
The authors design and demonstrate a process for carrying out design science (DS) research in information systems and demonstrate use of the process to conduct research in two case studies. Several IS researchers have pioneered the acceptance of DS research in IS, but in the last 15 years little DS research has been done within the discipline. The lack of a generally accepted process for DS research in IS may have contributed to this problem. We sought to design a design science research process (DSRP) model that would meet three objectives: it would be consistent with prior literature, it would provide a nominal process model for doing DS research, and it would provide a mental model for p…
Collaborative EA Information Elicitation Method : The IEM for Business Architecture
2015
This study contributes to the enterprise architecture (EA) methodologies by suggesting a method for eliciting architecture requirements: gathering both the current architecture information, and the development needs and requirements for the business architecture (BA) dimension in EA planning. Most of all EA dimensions, the developing of the BA requires collaboration with various non-IT stakeholders. It presents thus challenges to the IT department, or the consultancy involved in EA related efforts. The contribution of the various stakeholder groups as informants is, however, crucial to well founded EA design decisions. The suggested method takes related IS development fields as starting poi…
