AN XML DEFINITION LANGUAGE TO SUPPORT SCENARIO-BASED REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING

摘要

Scenarios are a new way of representing knowledge that has been attracting a lot of attention from practitioners and researchers. In this paper we present the SDML formalism, an XML definition language to support scenario-based requirements engineering. The definition of scenarios through SDML enables to exploit the emerging XML technologies in order to offer powerful ways to create, maintain, distribute and use scenarios. Moreover, we are experimenting the SDML language on a variety of practical case studies.
