The management of requirements: What causes uncertainty in integrated design approaches?

Although a substantial amount of literature advocates the integrated collaborative design processes for construction projects, very little explicit knowledge exists about the impact of the integrated processes on project uncertainty. In contrast with construction site processes, which can in most cases be organized as a sequence of tasks...

An industrial case study in reconstructing requirements views

Requirements views, such as coverage and status views, are an important asset for monitoring and managing software development projects. We have developed a method that automates the process of reconstructing these views, and we have built a tool, REQANALYST, that supports this method. This paper presents an investigation as to which extent...

Design of Prognosis model for transportation volumes related to construction methods

The current research stems from the motivation of controlling the phenomenon of traffic congestion in urban areas that can be deteriorated due to the implementation of a construction project. Nowadays, it is frequently observed that construction activities in complex urban environments appear undesirable effects on the communities surrounding...

Development and Implementation of an MBSE Requirement Verification Framework in the System Design Process

Requirement management is an important part of the design process. A perfectly feasible design can be useless if it does not meet the requirements imposed on the design. With the upcoming automation in the design process, requirement management can become even more complicated. How are requirements driving the design and how are these...

Sustainability, a requirement in projects: An exploratory research to develop a framework for sustainability requirements management in Transmission System Operators (TSO) projects

Sustainability has become a prominent term in policy-oriented research as an expression of what public policies seek to achieve (Kuhlman & Farrington,2010). It has been a developing idea, frequently receiving attention from society, governmental agendas, and the innovative field (Tamak,2017). Organisations are now rapidly taking steps...

In search for a Systems Engineering application for Real Estate Procurement: Evaluation of requirements management process in DBFMO-projects of the Rijksgebouwendienst

There is a growing acknowledgement that the requirements management process in the definition-phase of real estate projects is a crucial factor which significantly influences the total performance and problems in realized buildings can often be traced back to the management of this process. Many initiatives are conducted to analyse and improve...

Semantic enrichment of design requirements using Object Type Libraries for automated verification: Towards automated requirements verification system

Success of the project depends on compliance to requirements amongst other things (Wheeler, 2003). This forms Requirements Management process an important step in the Systems Engineering life cycle. However, poor definition of requirements is an obstacle in automating the verification process. The existing solutions based on various approaches...

An Industrial Case Study in Reconstructing Requirements Views

Preprint of article published in: Empirical Software Engineering (Springer), 13 (6), 2008; doi:10.1007/s10664-008-9078-4 Requirements views, such as coverage and status views, are an important asset for monitoring and managing software development projects. We have developed a method that automates the process of reconstructing these views, and...
