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.

Social Software is...
Interacting with other people not only forms the core of human social and psychological experience, but also lies at the centre of what makes the internet such a rich, powerful and exciting collection of knowledge media. We are especially interested in what happens when such interactions take place on a very large scale -- not only because we work regularly with tens of thousands of distance learners at the Open University, but also because it is evident that being part of a crowd in real life possesses a certain 'buzz' of its own, and poses a natural challenge. Different nuances emerge in different user contexts, so we choose to investigate the contexts of work, learning and play to better understand the trade-offs involved in designing effective large-scale social software for multiple purposes.
