Information requirements for enterprise systems

TL;DR

This paper presents a responsibility-based modeling approach for eliciting information requirements in enterprise systems, demonstrated through a civil emergency management case study.

Contribution

It introduces a novel responsibility modeling method to improve stakeholder identification and requirements elicitation in multi-agent enterprise systems.

Findings

Effective stakeholder identification using responsibility models

Structured requirements elicitation process demonstrated

Case study validates approach in civil emergency management

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss an approach to system requirements engineering, which is based on using models of the responsibilities assigned to agents in a multi-agency system of systems. The responsibility models serve as a basis for identifying the stakeholders that should be considered in establishing the requirements and provide a basis for a structured approach, described here, for information requirements elicitation. We illustrate this approach using a case study drawn from civil emergency management.
