Viewpoints: Viewpoints '96

Welcome

Almost 20 years ago I wrote a thesis on the use of Viewpoints in Requirements Elicitation. It was one of the first works that explored the idea of using different viewpoints for better understanding software requirements. It stands on the shoulders of two giants: SADT and Core, but it went further as to use automation in the process of using different viewpoints and perspectives to elicit more sound requirements.

I am making the original text available. I will also use this space as to gather work related to the topic.

Please fell free to comment. I will moderate the comments, and may comment on some of them. The intention of this space is to foster debate as well as to serve as a reference on the topic.

Viewpoints '96

In October of 1996, Anthony Finkelstein managed to unite more than 30 researchers to discuss the concept of viewpoint applied to Software Engineering. The International Workshop on Multiple Perspectives in Software Development proceedings has 32 short papers on the topic. It is the more diverse collection of viewpoints literature dealing with the concept of viewpoint in Requirements Engineering.

Below follows a list of all the 32 papers published in the Viewpoints 96 Workshop.
