Abstract :
The reengineering of information systems and business processes that occurs during enterprise analysis demands a robust, rigorous, and expressive technique for modeling elicited system requirements. The requirements models must also be easily understood by end users. A hybrid object based modeling technique is presented to support progressive formalization of requirements models with minimal transformations. The technique strives to impose consistency and coherence on the modeling process, yielding a higher level of process continuity, enhancing end-user comprehension, and facilitating communication between analysis and end users
