Abstract :
In this paper, we first discuss a necessity of a bridge engineer for a multi-lingual development team, who bridges gaps between different languages, cultures and social systems of a client and a vender to define a requirement specification of an application system. Next, we propose a concept of cloud-based support system for defining requirement specifications, consisting of two design assistant agents, a definition support subsystem and a language translation web service. The design assistant agents who support a client and an offshore vender as expert systems which play a role of a bridge engineer.
