Requirements Engineering for Safety-Critical Systems: Overview and Challenges

In a world that depends increasingly on complex, critical, and intertwined systems, requirements engineering is crucial to developing and maintaining safety-critical systems (SCSs). Researchers studied the state of the art (through the literature) and the state of the practice (through in-depth inte...

Description
Summary:In a world that depends increasingly on complex, critical, and intertwined systems, requirements engineering is crucial to developing and maintaining safety-critical systems (SCSs). Researchers studied the state of the art (through the literature) and the state of the practice (through in-depth interviews with practitioners) to discover what approaches are available for capturing, specifying, and communicating safety requirements throughout the SCS lifecycle and to determine the remaining challenges.
