A Proposal of Requirements Specification Process for Adaptive Systems Based on Fuzzy Logic and NFR-Framework
João DionisioParaiba, Luiz Eduardo, Guilherme Legramante Martins · International Conference on Software Engineering Advances · 2013
Fuzzy Logic is a concept that deals with ambiguities, uncertainties and vague information on the solution of problems. NFR-Framework deals with the non- functional requirements which also are, very often, vaguely and full of uncertainties. In this paper, we use these concepts to propose a process for requirements specification of adaptive systems, called PERSA - Portuguese acronym to Processo de Especificacao de Requisitos para Sistemas Adaptativos. Adaptive systems consist of functional and non-functional requirements, which hold the capacity to modify themselves during the runtime with little or no human intervention at all. However, despite being a very discussed topic in Requirements Engineering (RE) community, it still lacks tools and techniques to standardize its modeling. The proposed process is instantiated in a case study which is discussed along this paper.
