“…The expected result, "in contradistinction with traditional control engineering approaches focusing first on separate parts" 2 , is to check the "right-system requirements-right" between all the stakeholders involved throughout a power plant life cycle, including the enabling systems, and especially the automation system engineering. The use of models for verification and validation of dependable requirements to component solution integration is compliant with the last recommended best practices in industry [2].…”

Recurrent incident reports indicate that critical systems such as power plants exhibit unintended emergent behaviors outside of acceptable limits, despite of the increasing development of dependable automation technologies as well as of a lot of techniques related to dependability issues. Among many causes, the role of human for operating technical artefacts is of importance, but also for designing them from the early stages of specification in order to check the basic property of wholeness of any system. A mean is to ensure a continuum of compliant models to component integration through an iterative process between all the disciplines involved to engineer these systems as whole all along their life cycle. However, a human-based process to check the "right-system requirements-right" remains not fully adequate at the scale of real systems engineering projects and in any case to critical issues. This paper explores the formal checking compliance of architecting models with dependability requirements. These models are refined iteratively by specialist and specialty engineers interoperating with a system engineer through a co-specification process on a particular case study of a critical power-plant sub-system.

“…For example, Meziane et al [16] proposed a system, called GeNLangUML, to generate natural language specifications for UML class diagram. Fantechi et al [7] have applied the natural language processing concepts to identify defects related to ambiguity within requirements documents. They have used the linguistic techniques to semantically analyze the use case models.…”

“…However, it is well documented that a poor requirements engineering process [14], [17] an important factors in software failures is due to the generation of ambiguous requirements. Because of the importance of natural language to the requirements engineering process, a number of natural language processing techniques, ranging from lexical analysis [15], [7], [8] to semantic analysis [10], [11], [17], have been applied to analyze textual requirements. The objective of these techniques has been to overcome the inherent ambiguous nature [7] of natural language, which originates from different possible interpretations.…”

AbstractȄSoftware development is a collaborative activity where the quality of the end product depends to a great extent on the quality of the requirements engineering process. This paper examines the impact of multi-natural language backgrounds (English and Arabic) of the requirements engineers on the quality and correctness of the use case modeling. The study is done through a controlled experiment. The results show that using a native language for system description improves the functional correctness of the use case model. However, the time required to perform use case modeling and the quality of use case diagrams is not affected by using either native or English (as a second language).

“…Reviews are the most commonly used means to verify requirements, and the review process is expensive and effective only with the intervention of domain experts. Teams still face difficulties in the transition from theory to practice: formalization of requirements, consistency of textual requirements, requirements that describe solutions, definition of specification models [3]. Errors in requirements typically make up 25% to 70% of total software errors.…”

Abstract. Requirements Engineering (RE) is a key discipline for the success of software projects. Consistency, completeness, and accuracy are the requirements quality properties to be guaranteed by the verification task in RE. An overview of the actual trends in RE is briefly summarized, focusing more closely on the requirements verification quality properties. Completeness results is the most difficult property to guarantee. It is hard to capture the software behavior against the whole external context. In the last years, research has focused its attention to the application of semantic Web techniques to the different tasks of RE. The adoption of ontologies seems promising to achieve the proper level of formalism and to argue on quality properties. This paper presents a survey of the main concepts that need to be accounted for requirement verification, and proposes an ontological engineering approach to demonstrate the overlapping of requirements against the external context.
