Abstract

Different modelling techniques from different disciplines are needed to model complex socio-technical systems and their requirements. This paper describes the application of RESCUE, a process that integrates 4 modelling techniques to model and analyse stakeholder requirements for DMAN, a system for scheduling and managing the departure of aircraft from major European airports. It describes how human activity, use case and i* modelling were applied and integrated using synchronisation checks to model requirements on DMAN. Synchronisation checks applied at predefined stages in RESCUE revealed omissions and potential inconsistencies in the models and stakeholder requirements that, in turn, led to improvements to the models and resulting specification. The paper ends with implications for requirements model integration, and describes future work to extend and apply RESCUE. Document type: Part of book or chapter of book

Abstract

This report is about the market for airline travel in northern New Mexico. Interest in developing a northern New Mexico regional airport has periodically surfaced for a number of years. The New Mexico State Legislature passed a memorial during the 1998 Second Session calling for the conduct of a study to determine the feasibility of building a new regional airport in NNM. This report is a study of the passenger market feasibility of such an airport. In addition to commercial passenger market feasibility, there are other feasibility issues dealing with siting, environmental impact, noise, economic impact, intermodal transportation integration, region-wide transportation services, airport engineering requirements, and others. These other feasibility issues are not analyzed in any depth in this report although none were discovered to be show-stoppers as a by-product of the authors doing research on the passenger market itself. Preceding the need for a detailed study of these other issues is the determination of the basic market need for an airport with regular commercial airline service in the first place. This report is restricted to an in-depth look at the market for commercial passenger air service in NNM. 20 figs., 8 tabs. Document type: Report

Abstract

The design of large-scale complex systems requires their analysis from multiple perspectives, often through the use of requirements models. Diversely located experts with different backgrounds (e.g., safety, security, performance) create such models using different requirements modeling languages. One open challenge is how to align these models such that they cover the same parts of the domain. We propose a technique based on natural language processing (NLP) that analyzes several models included in a project and provides suggestions to modelers based on what is represented in the models that analyze other concerns. Unlike techniques based on meta-model alignment, ours is flexible and language agnostic. We report the results of a focus group session in which experts from the air traffic management domain discussed our approach.

Abstract

In this paper, we report on the development of a webbased platform for Participatory Architectural Change Management in Air Traffic Management Systems (ATM) as part of the SESAR H2020 project PACAS. The platform is the result of an iterative requirements engineering process that actively involves ATM domain experts, starting from stakeholder analysis, to requirements elicitation, scenario definition, and validation.

Abstract

International audience; Engineering autonomous driving functions has become a dramatic challenge in automotive engineering since it is now required to integrate knowledge from multi-disciplinary domains. In this context, the widespread engineering methods are showing their limit since they mainly integrate technological centered point of view. Thus, these new requirements lead naturally to the design of new method for engineering in automotive field. The goal of this paper is to sketch an overview of the possible improvements that Knowledge Modeling and ontologies can bring to Systems Engineering and especially in the case of Autonomous Driving functions.
