Knowledge Transfer Model for the Development of Software Requirements Analysis CASE Tools to Be Used in Cross Time-Zone Projects
Zenon Chaczko, J Quang, Bruce D. Moulton · International Journal of Digital Content Technology and its Applications · 2010
This article describes work undertaken to evaluate an approach for developing collaborative requirementsanalysis CASE tools that are specifically designed to address the needs of cross-time-zone development teams, that is, teams spread across different geographical locations around the world. Few of the software requirements analysis computer assisted software environment (CASE) tools readily available are designed specifically for cross-time-zone development activities. We propose a specifically tailored data and knowledge-transfer model, and investigate its suitability for the development of a cross-time-zone oriented CASE tool. The approach was used to develop a working prototype. The approach and prototype will be further evaluated in a collaborative undertaking involving the Wroclaw University of Technology, the University of Technology Sydney and the University of Arizona (UA).
