Use-case driven requirements analysis for context-aware systems

Abstract

Context-awareness and context-aware systems have been getting popular but there have been only a few of researches on requirements analysis method for context-aware systems. In this paper, we propose a requirement elicitation method for context-aware systems. We contend that analysts should consider system platform, target users, and service intelligence as context related issues, and we also argue that they should gather and document context related issues during use case gathering process because context related information is very important in context-aware systems. Our work contributes to context-aware system field because we consider context information as first citizen of software engineering, so that users, analysts, and designers have some agreement on context-aware services. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
