Intelligent parking management by means of capability oriented requirements engineering

Abstract

Capability Oriented Requirements Engineering (CORE) is an emerging research area where designers are faced with the challenge of analyzing changes in the business domain, capturing user requirements, and developing adequate IT solutions taking into consideration these changes and answering user needs. CORE aims at providing continuously a certain level of quality (business, service, security, etc.) in dynamically changing circumstances such as smart city operations. Intelligent management of transportation is a complex smart city operation, and hence, an optimal application domain for CORE. A specific application within the domain of intelligent management of transportation is the smart management of parking. In this paper, we propose dealing with the intelligent management of parking spaces by using CORE. In an I-Parking system that offers personalized advice to users, we deal with change and introduce smartness by means of “Goal Models”, “Informational Models”, “Capability Models” and “Actor Dependency Models”.
