A framework for Requirements Concurrent Engineering

Abstract

This paper aims to present a framework for Requirements Concurrent Engineering (RCE) to be used in the development of complex products. Completeness and correctness are very important attributes in the processes of Requirements Engineering (RE) in complex products. A missing requirement results in a missing system attribute. A wrong requirement means a design mistake. In order to improve the process of capturing of all individual requirements, in a way that all kind of requirements receives the same level of attention, this paper proposes a framework which considers the entire life cycle, all processes and people involved. The proposed framework shall be used starting at the early stages of product development. © Springer-Verlag London 2013.
