Deriving information requirements from responsibility models
conference contribution
posted on 2011-08-23, 11:23 authored by Ian Sommerville, Russell LockRussell Lock, Tim Storer, John DobsonThis paper describes research in understanding the require-
ments for complex information systems that are constructed from one or
more generic COTS systems. We argue that, in these cases, behavioural
requirements are largely de ned by the underlying system and that the
goal of the requirements engineering process is to understand the in-
formation requirements of system stakeholders. We discuss this notion
of information requirements and propose that an understanding of how
a socio-technical system is structured in terms of responsibilities is an
e ective way of discovering this type of requirement. We introduce the
idea of responsibility modelling and show, using an example drawn from
the domain of emergency planning, how a responsibility model can be
used to derive information requirements for a system that coordinates
the multiple agencies dealing with an emergency.
