Stakeholders-driven Requirements Semantics Acquisition for Networked Software Systems

Abstract—Large-scale and complex system exhibits adaptive feature, and evolutionary emergence of collective behaviors is its fundamental phenomena. Considering service oriented requirements engineering (SORE), this paper explores require-ments semantics acquisition technique and analyzes its adaptive feature. The strategy of evolutionary growth to gain domain-specific requirements semantics model is proposed. Also, this approach combines with folks and experts intelligence to create requirements semantics. The instantiation of semantics is per-formed based on this model. The semantic model can facilitate consistency check and reasoning for high-quality requirements. By employing the functions provided by semantic wikis, a stakeholders-driven semantics acquisition platform for pre-requirements is designed. Apart from traditional documentary specification, on-demand semantics artifacts will be exported to the subsequent services aggregation and semantics-driven service customization.
