Currently, generating high-level test cases described in natural language from requirement documents is performed manually. In the industry, including companies specializing in software testing, there is a significant demand for the…

An application's user documentation, also referred to as the user manual, is one of the core elements required in application distribution. While there exist many tools to aid an application's developer in creating and maintaining…

Software malleability allows applications to be easily changed, configured, and adapted even after deployment. While prior work has explored configurable systems, adaptive recommender systems, and malleable GUIs, these approaches are often…

Large language models are redefining software engineering by implementing AI-powered techniques throughout the whole software development process, including requirement gathering, software architecture, code generation, testing, and…

In this paper, we present an automatic knowledge base construction system from large scale enterprise documents with minimal efforts of human intervention. In the design and deployment of such a knowledge mining system for enterprise, we…

Foundation models show great promise for generative tasks in many domains. Here we discuss the use of foundation models to generate structured documents related to critical assets. A Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) captures the…

In this paper, we propose a method for aligning models with their realization through the application of model-based systems engineering. Our approach is divided into three steps. (1) Firstly, we leverage domain expertise and the Unified…

Data contracts formalize agreements between data producers and consumers regarding schema, semantics, and quality expectations. As data pipelines grow in complexity, manual authoring and maintenance of contracts becomes error-prone and…

In the international standard for system and software engineering ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288: 2015, the output of the stakeholder needs and the business or mission analysis technical processes are transformed into a technical view of the system by…

It is a long-standing desire of industry and research to automate the software development and testing process as much as possible. In this process, requirements engineering (RE) plays a fundamental role for all other steps that build on…

The paper studies how code generation by LLMs can be combined with formal verification to produce critical embedded software. The first contribution is a general framework, spec2code, in which LLMs are combined with different types of…

Requirements engineering (RE) is considerably different in agile development than in more traditional development processes. Yet, there is little empirical knowledge on the state of the practice and contemporary problems in agile RE. As…

Recent embedding-based methods have achieved great successes in exploiting entity alignment from knowledge graph (KG) embeddings of multiple modalities. In this paper, we study embedding-based entity alignment (EEA) from a perspective of…

Requirements Engineering (RE) has established itself as a software engineering discipline during the past decades. While researchers have been investigating the RE discipline with a plethora of empirical studies, attempts to systematically…

Automating end-to-end Exploratory Data Analysis (AutoEDA) is a challenging open problem, often tackled through Reinforcement Learning (RL) by learning to predict a sequence of analysis operations (FILTER, GROUP, etc). Defining rewards for…

Requirements Engineering has recently been greatly influenced by the way how firms use Open Source Software (OSS) and Software Ecosystems (SECOs) as a part of their product development and business models. This is further emphasized by the…

We propose a noble, comprehensive and robust agile requirements change management (ARCM) model that addresses the limitations of existing models and is tailored for agile software development in the global software development paradigm. To…

Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant potential in automating software engineering tasks. Generating software architecture designs from requirement documents is a crucial step in software development. However,…

In this paper, we report on our 5-year's practical experience of designing, developing and then deploying a Model-based Requirements Engineering (MBRE) approach and language in the context of three different large European collaborative…

We specify an abstraction layer to be used between an enterprise application and the utilized enterprise framework (like J2EE or .NET). This specification is called the Workshop. It provides an intuitive metaphor supporting the programmer…
