In this talk I shall briefly remind the participants of the basic context of requirements engineering, and then discuss three particular aspects. One is the span of a requirement: that is, how far the subject matter of one requirement extends in space or time. Another is the relationship between modelling and reality. A major part of the difficulty of building satisfactory software-intensive systems resides here. The third is the well- known principle 'divide and rule', and the conditions for its successful application.

We are also inviting top experts in AI and Knowledge Technologies to discuss major socio-technological topics with an audience that comprises both members of the Knowledge Media Institute, as well as the wider staff at The Open University. Differently from our seminar series, these events follow a Q&A format.
