Requirements Engineering

We research and apply techniques that allow innovators to align systems with the needs of humans, organizations, and society. Our techniques are based on stateoftheart empirical research and include case studies with in-depth interviews, workshops, surveys, experiments, and action research.

We research and evaluate methods and tools that allow people to communicate requirements. One pillar concerns the collection, analysis, and management of feedback through the user and developer interfaces for software products. A second pillar concerns the use of video for communication of knowledge in innovation projects.

We research how requirements engineering methodology may be translated into automated software services, which enable the development of systems that selfalign with stakeholder needs. We evaluate these services for the Internet of Things (IoT) and datacentric systems of Artificial Intelligence (AI) such as those developed by Data Scientists.

Horizon2020 ICT092014 Project. We deliver methods and tools that support developers in obtaining and analyzing user feedback and context data. These data improve decision-making in evolution and adaptation of software services and applications. More...

Horizon2020 EUK022016 Project. Mobile devices, sensors, and actuators give rise to the global Internet of Things (IoT). We develop methods for identifying applications for IoT and technologies that allow these applications to win and keep users. More...

Horizon2020 ICT012016 Project. The Internet of Things lets computing capabilities on the edge advance faster than in the cloud. We develop a marketplace for edge device owners and systems developers to cooperate across companies and industries.
