Mobile applications are context-oriented systems that involve the use of context information while operating. Mobile applications demand tackling context information in the early phase of software engineering. A context-aware system demands a different approach to handling the influence of the context on a system's requirements. Aspect-oriented Requirement Engineering separates concerns throughout requirements, called crosscutting concerns, in the early phase of software development to improve the modularity of complex applications. Capturing requirements embedded within context is a challenging procedure. This study aimed to identify such contextual characteristics of requirements in the early phase of software engineering, using natural language processing techniques, by proposing Context-Based Aspect-Oriented Requirement Engineering (CB-AORE) to visualize the existence of crosscutting concerns. CB-AORE performs context modeling to analyze the context dependency with base requirements and helps the analyst to visualize the correlation of functional and non-functional requirements with context. A case study analyzed the identification of context and its use to identify crosscutting concerns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
