Towards an aspect-oriented requirements engineering approach in organizations multi-enterprises

Le système d’information coopératif (SIC) est un élément central dans le domaine de la coopération interentreprises. Son développement nécessite une attention particulière afin de prendre en considération tous les problèmes émergeants, surtout celui des préoccupations transversales qui posent des difficultés pour la compréhension, la maintenance, l’évolution, et la réutilisation des systèmes développés. Dans les approches usuelles de développement, la construction de ce genre de système part de zéro et nécessite de tout reconstruire à chaque fois. Nos travaux de recherche dans cette thèse examinent comment une approche orientée aspect appliquée de la phase de recueil des exigences à la phase de conception peut être proposée comme un outil permettant de développer des SICs à partir de systèmes d’information (SIs) préalablement existants produits à l’occasion de développements antérieurs. L’utilisation du paradigme Aspect dans cette approche tente de réutiliser des artéfacts des SIs existants afin de développer le futur SIC supportant la coopération interentreprises.It is often difficult for a single Information System (IS) to accomplish complex requirements. One solution is to combine many different ISs and make them collaborate to realize this task. Information systems composition is an active ongoing area of research in the field of information systems. The result of IS composition produces one type of a so called Cooperative Information System (CIS). Its development requires a particular attention to process all emerging problems, especially the crosscutting concerns that pose difficulties to understand, maintain and reuse such cooperative systems. Moreover, the aspect paradigm is presented as a promising avenue for reusability. Thus, we argue that it is interesting to propose an aspect approach to build a new system in order to accomplish complex tasks based on the reuse of system’s artefacts previously developed. According to our best of knowledge few works have tackled this question. In this thesis, we present an aspect-oriented approach called AspeCiS, applied from the requirements engineering phase until the design phase, in order to develop a CIS from existing ISs by using their artifacts such as requirements, architectures and design. Therefore, this approach is opposed to conventional development ones in which the construction of a new system starts from nothing and needs reinventing everything every time
