nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Information Society that we live in today is largely driven by the products and services that either contain software as a core element, or are themselves software. At the very least, it is likely that most of those same products and services were manufactured with the help of some type of sophisticated software applications. Because of that, as well as the stresses of navigating through a truly global economy, the skills of software developers and engineers are being pushed to the limit. As a result of those growing complexities, it has become imperative that software engineers and developers understand the methods, tools and techniques for identifying, documenting and validating the requirements of complex systems. In turn, more emphasis is now being placed on Requirements Engineering and the role it plays in today's Information Society. Because of that, Requirements Engineering has now transcended its traditional role within software development and become an integral part of software engineering. Requirements Engineering for Socio-Technical Systems provides a comprehensive view of many of the system requirements for some of the hottest areas in development today. embedded within the development of socio-technical systems.

Riassunto

The so called information society is being shaped by products and services that either contain software as the core element, are themselves software, or have been designed and manufactured with the help of sophisticated software applications. The new global environment in which these systems are being developed and deployed, in addition to other pressing issues, such as time-to-market and dependability, are pushing the skills of software developers and engineers to the limit. With few exceptions, those products and services will influence the social environment where they will be deployed, because people will operate them or be affected by them, or both. So another challenging issue is the ability of these systems to integrate with their social environment in a way that is perceived as beneficial, trustworthy and acceptable. Given these challenges, defining the requirements that establish what a future system should do, and validating that the system has achieved its goals, is an immense task. In this book the reader will find a detailed account of the challenges posed by the elicitation, specification, validation and management of requirements for the definition of this kind of application: from embedded software in cars to internet-based applications, COTS packages, health-care, and others.
