Aspect-oriented requirements engineering for component-based software systems

Developing requirements for software components, and ensuring these requirements are met by component designs, is very challenging, as very often application domain and stakeholders are not fully known during component development. The author introduces a new methodology, aspect-oriented component engineering, that addresses some difficult issues of component requirements engineering by analysing and characterising components based on different aspects of the overall application a component addresses. He gives an overview of the aspect-oriented component requirements engineering process, focus on component requirements analysis specification and reasoning, and briefly discuss tool support.
