Abstract :
This paper analyzes the potential of the Mobile Social Web in facilitating the social dimension of agile requirements engineering. In doing so, an agile requirements engineering process (AREP) is presented. AREP consists of a nonlinear sequence of technical activities, each of which is supported by a number of social activities. A compendium of representative examples that illustrate the interplay between activities underlying AREP and Social Web applications is given. The relationships to other software project artifacts, and to open source software (OSS), are highlighted.
