Ubiquitous, Pervasive and Mobile Computing: A Reusable-Models-based Non-Functional Catalogue.
Milene Serrano, Maurício Serrano · 2013
This paper reports on experiences in the development and use of a non-functional catalogue based on Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering. This catalogue is specific for ubiquitous, pervasive and mobile computing domain, and it represents a common baseline focused on the concerns of this domain, their interdependencies and operationalizations. Moreover, our reusable models-based catalogue has been thoroughly evaluated by using different ubiquitous contexts. Therefore, it is in constant evolution. According to our evaluation process, the reuse of existing and shared models demonstrates, among others benefits, that: (i) it offers a suitable and reusable body of knowledge to deal with ubiquitous, pervasive and mobile quality criteria; and (ii) it reduces elicitation time and team efforts while working with nonfunctional issues. We also present an overview about the catalogue's development process, emphasizing the last obtained refinements.
