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.

New Media Systems is...


Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.

Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.

Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
