Certain investigations on enhancement of natural language requirements with semantic based techniques

Abstract

The emerging trends in Software development pose new research challenges in Requirements Engineering RE As the Software Engineering field evolves with service orientation, the applications are becoming more distributed and domain specific Re conceptualizations adaptations and extensions are needed to the conventional RE techniques Hence there should be a rethinking in the field of RE RE is an inherently complicated multidisciplinary and multidimensional discipline which requires specific solutions by combining knowledge from different disciplines The final output of RE is the Software Requirements Specification SRS which is the document that clearly and newlineprecisely describes each of the essential requirements of the software SRSs are usually written in natural language which is highly ambiguous The other RE challenges are domain dependence prioritization reuse and quality evaluation The main issue in the existing RE techniques is that they do not handle the semantic aspects of requirements newline
