Synopsis:

Solid requirements engineering has become increasingly essential to on-time and on-budget delivery of software and systems projects. As more engineering programs make it a mandatory part of their curricula, students and working engineers require significant training to master the field, especially the complicated emerging ancillary software tools vital to the requirements engineering process.

With a focus on software-intensive systems, Requirements Engineering for Software and Systems provides a probing and comprehensive review of recent developments in intelligent systems, soft computing techniques, and their diverse applications in manufacturing. Topics covered can be applied to the requirements engineering practices for:

• Advanced production machines and systems
• Collaborative and responsive manufacturing systems
• Digital manufacturing
• E-manufacturing
• E-business and virtual enterprises
• Fit manufacturing
• Human machine interfaces
• Innovative design technologies
• Intelligent and competitive manufacturing
• Intelligent planning and scheduling systems
• Mechatronics and MEMS
• Micro and nano manufacturing
• Production automation and control
• Reconfigurable manufacturing systems
• Sustainable manufacturing systems
• Robotics

To illustrate key ideas associated with requirements engineering, the text presents three common example systems: an airline baggage handling system, a point-of-sale system for one location of a large pet store chain, and a system for a smart home in which one or more PCs control various aspects of the home’s functions. The selected systems encompass a wide range of applications―from embedded to organic, for both industrial and consumer uses.
