Domain Dependent Semantic Requirement Engineering

erschienen June 2010 in: Hammamet, Tunesia DE@CAiSE'10 - Workshop on Domain Engineering

Requirements Engineering is one of the most important phases in any product development life cycle since it is the basis for the complete software or product design and realization. Therefore in a worst case scenario any error within a requirement can result in a project loss. Computer support for requirement engineers is still premature as most RE applications can not cope with more sophisticated techniques like semantics, natural language processing etc. In this paper we will present the ongoing research work in semantic requirement engineering which will try to close the gap between computer understandable semantics, namely ontologies, and the natural language input of a human.
