An efficient method for creating requirement specification of plant control software using domain model

Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient method to create requirement specifications for Plant Control Software (PCSW) using domain model. Prior to the achievement of this method, we have conducted domain analyses of existing PCSWs and classified their functions into "similar functions" and "individual functions", and then we have developed PCSW Software Components (PSCs) that correspond to these functions. We also have developed a support environment for creating requirement specifications. As the result of applying our model to PCSW developments, the amounts of time required for creating requirement specifications have been reduced by 55.0[%] © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
