Semantic Support for Scenarios to Improve Communication in Agribusiness

Abstract

Organizations produce and exchange a huge amount of critical information, which main purpose is to obtain acceptable results. Hence, the trend is by considering integrated systems that can be easily adapted to several domains, especially when they need to exchange information. In this context, the agribusiness sector is a good example where massive data is generated, which implies the need for information sharing and collaboration, where the great challenged is support and understand the colliding context. However, every software system relies on its context, with its own rules, dynamism, and languages. Hence, it implies a significant effort to have a complete understanding of the composed domain. For this purpose, scenarios are well-known tools to describe dynamic domains and are commonly described under textbased context. When different stakeholders build Scenarios, it is essential to review them in order to unify their description. Thus, Scenarios under this unified perspective will better support the analysis and identification of relationship between two or more domains. This analysis is the key to design mechanisms to exchange information. Therefore, in the light of this, this paper proposes a semantic definition of Scenarios and a set of queries to identify issues in the Scenarios and improve their quality. In addition to this, a wiki platform to implement the semantic support and the queries is also provided.

AGUTER a platform for automated generation of user acceptance tests from requirements specifications

“…The proposed approach provides a good coverage of the situations that should be considered to test and elaborate a systematic and complete set of alternatives that need to be explored in order to test. The approach combines two modeling approaches: scenarios, from the requirement engineering field and task/method models, from the artificial intelligence field, particularly knowledge-based systems and semantic support (Camilleri et al , 2003; Antonelli et al , 2019). Scenarios are stories about people and their activities to reach certain goals, starting from a setting and using some resources.…”
