Ontology-Assisted Systems Engineering Process with Focus in the Requirements Engineering Process

  • Conference paper
Complex Systems Design & Management

Abstract

Problems found in the current Systems Engineering with focus in the Requirements Engineering Process shown that it could be improved using ontologies for aiding in the process. Requirements engineering in the Systems Engineering process is enhanced and quality of requirements enriched as well, improving Systems Engineering capabilities clearly can result in better Project Performance. One of that is the Requirement improvement and of course the benefit goes to the whole process of development. The more correct, complete and consistent it is, the best performance it will have and ontologies enable a more exhaustive and fast quality process.
