Overview
Solid requirements engineering has become increasingly essential to on-time and on-budget delivery of software and systems projects. As more engineering programs make it a mandatory part of their curricula, students and working engineers require significant training to master the field, especially the complicated emerging ancillary software tools vital to the requirements engineering process.
With a focus on software-intensive systems, Requirements Engineering for Software and Systems provides a probing and comprehensive review of recent developments in intelligent systems, soft computing techniques, and their diverse applications in manufacturing. Topics covered can be applied to the requirements engineering practices for:
- Advanced production machines and systems
- Collaborative and responsive manufacturing systems
- Digital manufacturing
- E-manufacturing
- E-business and virtual enterprises
- Fit manufacturing
- Human machine interfaces
- Innovative design technologies
- Intelligent and competitive manufacturing
- Intelligent planning and scheduling systems
- Mechatronics and MEMS
- Micro and nano manufacturing
- Production automation and control
- Reconfigurable manufacturing systems
- Sustainable manufacturing systems
- Robotics
To illustrate key ideas associated with requirements engineering, the text presents three common example systems: an airline baggage handling system, a point-of-sale system for one location of a large pet store chain, and a system for a smart home in which one or more PCs control various aspects of the home’s functions. The selected systems encompass a wide range of applications—from embedded to organic, for both industrial and consumer uses.
