Abstract

A requirement engineering method called REMOS (requirement description method for open systems) is presented, which was designed to support the requirement specification and analysis for distributed (transaction-oriented) systems. This approach overcomes the main problem of traditional requirement models that lack a well-founded and precise method. The basic concepts of the method are: uniform subsystem architecture; definition of requirement transaction, scenario definition, and description by several views; and possibilities for hierarchy and composition of scenarios and subsystems. The prototyping environment of REMOS is described
