Requirements interaction management (RIM) is the set of activities directed toward the discovery, management, and disposition of critical relationships among sets of requirements, which has become a critical area of requirements engineering. This survey looks at the evolution of supporting concepts and their related literature, presents an issues-based framework for reviewing processes and products, and applies the framework in a review of RIM state-of-the-art. Finally, it presents seven research projects that exemplify this emerging discipline.
In our increasingly networked world, a capacity to negotiate will be a critical factor of success, or even survival.
Supporting the NegotiationLife Cycle I Negotiation behavior is so broad and powerful that it applies wherever multiple agents interact-from the strategic posturing prior to agreements among nations, to the "handshake" protocol between connecting computer modems. Unfortunately, negotiation is a complex, difficult task-for humans or software agents. By understanding the negotiation life cycle, an agent can apply tools at the appropriate time and place to improve negotiation processes, products, and perspectives.
AbstTact-The superconducting accelerator Nuclotron was put into operation at JINR, Dubna. The accelerator contains 112 multipole correction windings. Each four of them are assembled as a magnet block with an inner diameter of 132 mm. The winding has one or two layers from NbTi multifilament conductor. The windings are impregnated with epoxy resin compound and glued on the tube coil with two-phase helium forced at 4.5 K. Each magnet has 100 A current leads without helium gas cooling. This very much simplifies the system of helium gas collection at the accelerator. All the magnets were tested and installed in the accelerator.
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.
