Abstract
In the mobile industry, system platforms are offered to device developers to enable rapid product development while sharing expensive technology development investments. This paper presents a framework for assessment of requirements engineering collaboration related to statements-of-compliance negotiation in platform subcontracting. The framework includes a classification of platform compliance scenarios and results from analysis of interviews with engineers at two collaborating companies, a device vendor and a platform vendor. Case study findings particular to the compliance scenarios of the framework are provided. The purpose of the framework is to provide a basis for process improvement in collaborative requirements engineering.
