Issues facing the Requirements Engineer - A Personal View
This event took place on Tuesday 01 November 2005 at 12:15

 
Ian Alexander

This talk will be in two parts.

1. What is going on out there? The speaker and colleagues conducted a questionnaire survey to find out what influences the requirements process in industry. The quantitative results were strikingly different between industries, but also had a strong overall pattern suggesting a need for radical change.

2. Personal Reflections on Requirements Engineering. The speaker will consider the implications of some of the survey's findings. He will speculate from his personal experience what the obstacles are, what we should do about them, and what the future may hold.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
