Three Aspects of Requirements Engineering
This event took place on Tuesday 11 October 2005 at 12:00
Prof. Michael Jackson Department of Computing, The Open University, UK
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.

Multimedia and Information Systems is...

We focus on content-based information retrieval over a wide range of data spanning form unstructured text and unlabelled images over spoken documents and music to videos. This encompasses the modelling of human perception of relevance and similarity, the learning from user actions and the up-to-date presentation of information. Currently we are building a research version of an integrated multimedia information retrieval system MIR to be used as a research prototype. We aim for a system that understands the user's information need and successfully links it to the appropriate information sources, be it a report or a TV news clip. This work is guided by the vision that an automated knowledge extraction system ultimately empowers people making efficient use of information sources without the burden of filing data into specialised databases.
