A User-Oriented Model-Driven Requirements Elicitation Process based on User Modeling

Abstract

As software is becoming more and more interweaved with people, organizations, and social systems, the users we face are becoming more and more complex in all aspects. On the other hand, user participation is largely ignored in traditional requirements elicitation methods (including Model-Driven Requirements Elicitation (MDRE) methods). In this paper, we adopt user modeling techniques into requirements elicitation, specifically MDRE, enhancing MDRE process into a user-oriented one, and at the same time personalizing the requirements reuse pattern of MDRE. Our approach facilitates user collaboration and interaction in MDRE and establishes personalized requirements reuse in MDRE, consequently offers better participation experiences for users.
