Requirements-Driven Software Reengineering
This event took place on Tuesday 25 April 2006 at 10:00

Dr Yijun Yu University of Toronto

As illustrated by the Horseshoe model, a software reengineering process improves a software system by reverse engineering it into high-level abstractions that can be used in the forward software engineering. Unlike traditional reengineering processes that recover abstractions at the level of architectural design, here I show that more abstract descriptions can be recovered at the requirements level, as goals of the stakeholders. The recovered requirements are then used as the basis to reengineer the system. Combining them with new stakeholder requirements for the system-to-be, a high-variability architectural design can be derived.

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.
