Defining the requirements that establish what a future sociotechnical system should do, and validating that the system has achieved its goals, is an immense task. In this book the reader will find a detailed account of the challenges posed by the elicitation, specification, validation and management of requirements for the definition of this kind of application.

Klappentext
The Information Society that we live in today is largely driven by the products and services that either contain software as a core element, or are themselves software.
