A design of software requirement engineering framework based on knowledge management and Service-Oriented Architecture Decision (SOAD) modeling framework

Sofware development methods can be varied. One of them is in-house software development method. Here, programmer´s knowledge takes the important role in successful development processes, especially in requirement engineering stage. In this stage, requirement is neeeded to be identified, analyzed, specified, and validated to ensure that developed software meets stakeholder needs. Organizations need to make effort in managing programmer´s knowledge about requirement engineering, so they will not need to deal with knowledge-dissapear problem. Many researches in knowledge management area propose solutions to deal with this problem. Inspired by concept of knowledge processing, SOAD modeling framework is proposed to help software architect in making decision in software design phase. It gives detail description about how knowledge can be processed and utilized to support software architect in making architectural design decision. However, SOAD is proposed for software design stage, instead of requirement engineering stage. This difference position brings consequences that we need to tailor the framework so we can utilize it in requirement engineering stage. In this paper, we propose a design of framework for requirement engineering by adopting the concept of knowledge management and also tailoring The Service-Oriented Architecture Decision (SOAD) modeling framework.
