IFIP Working Group 2.9 on Requirements Engineering is a working group within TC-2 (Software: Theory and Practice), which in turn is a technical committee of International Federation for Information Processing.

History

IFIP WG 2.9 was established in 1993.

Purpose

The purpose of IFIP WG 2.9 is to develop a better understanding of:

  • The elicitation, specification, analysis and management of the requirements for large and complex software intensive systems;
  • The interpretation and documentation of those requirements in such a way as to permit the developer to construct a system which will satisfy them.

Requirements engineering has received significant attention in software development design education[1][2].

Scope

The Scope of IFIP WG 2.9 includes all aspects of requirements engineering. Some examples of areas of special interest are:

  • Formal representation schemes and requirements modelling;
  • Descriptions of the requirements engineering process;
  • Tools and environments to support requirements engineering;
  • Requirements engineering methods;
  • Requirements analysis and validation;
  • Requirements elicitation, acquisition and formalisation;
  • Methods and tools for verification of an implementation’s compliance with requirements;
  • Reuse and adaptation of requirements;
  • Domain modelling and analysis;
  • Requirements engineering for distributed, safety-critical, composite, real-time and embedded systems.
