Carina Alves, Anthony Finkelstein · 2002
Abstract. Selecting COTS products is a process that inherently involves tradeoffs. In this position paper, we highlight the challenges of the requirements process for COTS-based system where the negotiation of requirements plays a critical task. In particular, it is necessary to perform a careful balancing between stakeholders requirements and COTS features. We analyse the processes of COTS matching and balancing using a goal-driven approach. Keywords: COTS-based systems, negotiation process, goal modelling. 1.
