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 experience report documents the results of the project "Data Modelling for Advanced Flight Data Management" of the research group "Computergestützte Informationssysteme" at Technische Universität Berlin and the EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre (EEC) Bretigny-sur-Orge France. A combination of classic object-oriented approaches, such as OMT, the Booch method and Jacobson's use case driven approach have been combined for creation of an analysis model, describing, sector handover procedures in the context of Air Traffic Control (ATC). Due to the complex dynamic properties of ATC systems, Message Sequence Charts (MSC) and statecharts, have been used within this project for requirements analysis, although they are usually considered as design related.
