Mobile Technologies in Requirements Engineering

This paper presents the current capabilities of mobile technologies to support the requirements engineering phase of software development projects. After a short insight into the state of the art of requirements engineering, different areas of application of mobile requirements engineering processes and tools - such as Arena-M or the Mobile Scenario Presenter - are being presented. The paper concludes with a critical statement regarding the benefit of current mobile tools in real-life requirements engineering.
