An Exception Handling Approach to Enhancing Consistency, Completeness, and Correctness in Collaborative Requirements Capture

This paper describes C-ReCS, a WWW-based system for collaborative requirements capture that uses a generic knowledge-based approach to detecting and resolving the “exceptions” (i.e. different kinds of inconsistency, incompleteness and incorrectness) that can arise frequently in such settings.
