A Social-Creative-Cognitive (Scc) Model For Requirements Engineering, Linda Dawson
A Social-Creative-Cognitive (Scc) Model For Requirements Engineering, Linda Dawson
Associate Professor Linda Dawson
This paper describes a research project and the findings from a set of six cases which examine professional requirements engineering (RE) practice from the perspective of how analysts reach agreement on system requirements for Information Systems Development (ISD). In these studies, it was found that the analysts reached agreement on requirements with clients through communication and negotiation based on both analysts’ cognitive skills in problem-solving and creative skills in developing informal models that could be used in the negotiation of agreement and sign-off on requirements specifications. A theoretical model of Social-Creative-Cognitive (SCC) aspects of Requirements Engineering is proposed encompassing the …

The Adoption And Adaptation Of Object Oriented Methodologies In Requirements Engineering Practice, Linda Dawson, Peta Darke
Associate Professor Linda Dawson
The move towards the use of object-oriented methods for information system development has led to the need for object-oriented approaches to requirements engineering. Research into current system development practices in object-oriented requirements specification is necessary for techniques and tools to evolve and improve. This paper describes a set of four case studies that examined the use of object-oriented methodologies in professional requirements engineering practice by experienced system developers. In these studies, it was found that the widely published and commonly available methodologies were rarely used in their entirety, if they were used at all. Rather, most consultants interviewed developed in-house …

Cognitive Processes In Object-Oriented Requirements Engineering Practice: Analogical Reasoning And Mental Modelling, Linda Dawson
Cognitive Processes In Object-Oriented Requirements Engineering Practice: Analogical Reasoning And Mental Modelling, Linda Dawson
Associate Professor Linda Dawson
This paper presents a background in cognitive processes such as problem solving and analogical reasoning for considering modeling from an object-oriented perspective within the domain of requirements engineering. The paper then describes a research project and the findings from a set of four cases which examine professional practice from perspective of cognitive modeling for object-oriented requirements engineering. In these studies, it was found that the analysts routinely built models in their minds and refined them before committing them to paper or communicating these models to others. The studies also showed that objectoriented analysts depend on analogical reasoning where they use …
