Requirements engineering with interrelated conceptual models and real world scenes

Requirements Engineering (RE) is the process of creating requirements documents with the objective to establish a complete, consistent, and unambiguous conceptual description of intended changes (e.g. in respect to software, hardware, or business processes) for a given application domain. Because RE is also a cooperative communication and learn process of stakeholders and requirements analysts the use of scenarios (i.e. concrete stories of existing or desired system usage) and real world scenes (captured or animated observations of current or future system usage employing rich media like video) becomes more and more popular in industrial practice. However, despite this trend current scenario-based RE approaches and techniques utilising rich media in the analysis process do not provide a tight and fine granular integration of scenarios and scenes with conceptual descriptions. The approach presented in this thesis provides tool-supported fine-granular interrelations between parts of abstract concepts of conceptual models and parts of concrete real world scenes that have influenced the creation of the concept or have been used for validating it. Based on these interrelations I developed methods and a supporting process-integrated modelling environment for a diverse set of extended conceptual modelling applications (e.g. scene-based explanation and negotiation support, formal inspections, model-based comparison of real world scenes) for three different conceptual modelling languages. I also validated the approach in two case studies and experimental research in the industrial field of mechanical engineering.
