Requirements in Engineering Projects

Requirements in Engineering Projects by João M. Fernandes, Ricardo J. Machado.

This book focuses on various topics related to engineering and management of requirements, in particular elicitation, negotiation, prioritisation, and documentation (whether with natural languages or with graphical models). The book provides methods and techniques that help to characterise, in a sys...
