Cloud users can enjoy all the resources being provided by the cloud for a certain charge. Cloud users will be charged on the basis of pay-as-you-go model.

The relationship between functional and non-functional requirements is the key in resolving conflicts in requirements gathering phase. In this paper, we discuss the effect of nonlinearity rating while converting the contribution links to quantitative values. We use our goal-oriented requirements engineering (GORE) method to identify the soft goals. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is then used to prioritize the soft goals. The output of AHP is used as input to technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) which produces a metric which decides the best alternative among the candidates. We illustrate the process and analyze the nonlinearity effect for meeting scheduler application.

Various Decision support methods have been proposed under GORE. In our work, we propose a GORE method which identifies dependencies between functional and nonfunctional requirements through identification of criteria. This serves as a base for decision support system. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP and Software Quality Function Deployment (SQFD) methods are employed to our proposed method for decision support. The steps and results are explained with a case study. The method is qualitatively compared with existing decision support methods Attributed Goal Oriented Requirements Engineering (AGORA) and Knowledge Acquisition in automated specification (KAOS).

In this paper we consider the case study of selecting one among the three Content Management Systems (CMS) for a university website. We use our Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) method to identify the soft goals which play a vital role in deciding which CMS is chosen. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is then used to prioritize the soft goals. The output of GORE and AHP are combined in order to produce a metric which decides the best alternative among the candidates.

This paper describes a Natural Language based tool which aims at supporting the analysis stage of software development in an object oriented framework. This paper is built on the foundation of existing mappings between natural language elements and Object oriented concepts. The tool named R-TOOL analyses software elicited requirements texts written in English to generate actors, use cases, classes, attributes, methods and relationship between the classes leading to the generation of class diagrams. This paper discusses initial experimental results which are encouraging and outlines further research plan to help to improve the system which will have the potential to play an important role in the software development process.

The relationship between functional and non-functional requirements often plays a crucial role in resolving conflicts or arriving at decisions in requirements engineering phase. Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) methods make a good attempt of addressing these aspects which are helpful in decision support. We propose a GORE method-Integrating goals after prioritization and evaluation (IGAPE). The method is semi-formal in nature thereby ensuring active stakeholder participation. In this paper we elaborate the various steps of IGAPE method. The output of IGAPE is then given as input to a decision support system which makes use of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). Integration of IGAPE with AHP and TOPSIS will clearly provide a rationale for various decisions which are arrived at during the requirements engineering phase. The method is illustrated for an e-commerce application and is validated by expert analysis approach.

The project makes use of GORE (Goal oriented Requirements Engineering Methodology). The device developed is based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) which operates in the Low Frequency (LF) band. The envisioned device is a combination of a RFID LF reader module and a microcontroller unit to convey all the information pertaining to the product to the user, thereby enhancing their shopping experience.

The primary goal of BPMN is to provide a common language for describing process behaviour, shareable by business and IT, which includes business users, business analysts, and technical developers. What seems to be missing in the way that business users are supposed to use BPMN, is an explicit consideration of the strategic rationale of having certain business processes as well as support for describing business processes in terms familiar to business people. We extended current work on Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) for business process design, i.e., B-SCP framework [1] and the work of Lapouchnian et al. [2], in order to obtain an appropriate GORE for BPMN modelling method. Our first contribution is the introduction of a B-SCP metamodel, which has been implemented by means of the Eclipse Modelling Framework. Our second contribution is an Eclipse-based B-SCP editor that enables business users to specify their strategic requirements and operational tasks. Our third contribution consists of model transformations to generate BPMN skeletons out of the B-SCP model, which were implemented by means of the Atlas Transformation Language.

One is the Simultaneous approach, where the Nets bid for the Pins they need, and all the bids are processed simultaneously. In the sequential approach, the bidding process is finalized sequentially. It has been observed that in large circuit designs, the simultaneous approach gives better results over sequential approach.

The report concludes by identifying gaps in specific areas of GORE literature and suggests possible ways to enhance the effectiveness of this methodology.
