“…To the best of knowledge of the authors of this article, there are no standard or widespread methodologies for the development of RFP for the deployment of ERP systems, either for public or private sector companies or for international organizations, with the exception of some general procurement guidelines and principles (e.g., World Bank Procurement Guidelines, WTO Agreement on Government Procurement). Nevertheless, several templates with broadspectrum guidelines have been proposed for RFP preparation (see, for example, a collection of samples on freetemplates.com 2 , the Punjab Information Technology Board 3 , Infotivity Technologies, Inc. 4 Figure 2. The proposed RFP preparation process for an ERP acquisition in an international environment…”

“…They should define the general qualities of the application [4], and may be classified in: Architectural requirements, dealing with issues of structure and integration (e.g., interaction of the new system with legacy systems); application domain requirements, specifying subjects related to the context in which the system will behave (i.e., application security specifications); and organizational requirements, constraints relevant to the entities (customer and vendor/integrator) involved in the implementation (e.g., software development strategy, organizational vision).…”

“…Several studies have discussed requirements engineering for COTS systems (e.g., [11,4,2,12].) When it comes to ERP systems, user requirements are usually analyzed once the ERP solution has been selected [15,7].…”

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems can support business processes in different areas in international organizations. The focus of ERP developers on the private and public sectors has widened the gap between user requirements and ERP system capabilities in deployments in international entities by preventing ERP vendors from learning and addressing needs that are unique to international organizations. This article presents actual experience during the early stages of the selection process of an ERP package in an international organization. It analyzes how to develop a Request for Proposal able to convey the needs of international organizations to ERP providers/integrators and that will effectively support an ERP application selection process.

The management of dynamic systems is an upcoming challenge for software engineers in automotive and other embedded systems. The complexity of current automotive computing systems is already difficult to handle for car makers and the expected growth in the area of electronic devices in vehicles will even intensify this situation. This paper presents a model based approach for enabling automatic configuration of distributed component oriented systems. Nonfunctional requirements and capabilities of software components and platforms are explicitly modeled and provide for wellfounded statements whether a component is able to execute on a certain platform or not. With application models and platform models the validity of a configuration is defined in this paper. The models even allow reconfigurations based on information regarding the actual system context like user behavior, backend or environmental sensor information.

Abstract. This paper summarizes the main achievements of a research whose main goal was to investigate the current state-of-art in the field of requirements engineering for COTS-based systems. For this purpose, we have reviewed the most relevant contributions in this field over the last 10 years have been considered. After analyzing these research contributions, we defined a scenario composed by a number of punctual but relevant contributions and a number of methodological approaches coping with the requirements definitions for such systems. Finally, on the basis of this scenario, a Wish List of desirable features of a hypothetical approach has been defined and compared against the current situation. This list may act as an empirical means for evaluating new approaches addressing RE for COTS-based systems, and bases its foundations on the current needs pointed out by the major experts in this field.
