Abstract

Due to conflicts which arise between customers and developers in software development it is worthwhile to regard requirements engineering (RE) from a decision making and communication perspective. If comparing RE with negotiation theory there exist important similarities between both perspectives. This paper introduces a negotiation-centered view on requirements elicitation and focuses on two main aspects, namely process definition and the role of asymmetric information. A software platform offering different methods of requirements elicitation, communication support including semantic enrichment, and negotiation support in general will be introduced to highlight one approach to requirements negotiation. After introducing several steps for improvement of the software platform a conclusion in the context of the process definition in RE and asymmetric information is given.
