The learning goals of this course are:
- Learn about the scientific theory on agile specification of requirements formulation by user stories.
- Being able to read and integrate state-of-the-art scientific works in the field of requirements engineering.
- Being able to design and write a learning module based on scientific papers.
- Being able to develop reflective and problem-solving assignments and exam questions.
- Being able to participate in a large project to develop a MOOC course.
The overall approach of the course is about learning to conduct a small knowledge creation and transfer project. The course is therefore a good preparation for the MBI graduation project in the field of requirements and architecture.
Topics covered this year are:
- User story basics, requirements elicitation
- Analysis of USs; syntactic and semantic quality; tooling
- Integration of USs in software development methods; acceptance test generation; task refinement strategies
- Reciprocal Twin Peaks model; RE4SA model; epics; product ontologies
Note, that this course can not be taken during the first period of the MSc program.
Assessment
Various presentations. Written research paper. Learning module with knowledge clips. Horizontal role performance.
The repair test requires at least a 4 for the original test.

Software Production is the research domain that covers product development, corporate entrepreneurship, and societal implications of large scale software development in open market conditions. The objective of this seminar is to learn and experience how subtasks in a large research-driven software production program are being planned and executed. In this seminar all students will execute a designated software production task in the framework of the Care2Report research program (www.care2report.nl). This research program aims to realize automated conversation summarization in several societal domains, such as healthcare consultations, nursing notes, police warrants, business analysis workshops, and survey interviews. The task will be chosen, elaborated, and executed by small teams of two students. Next to that, each student will perform a so-called horizontal role in the management of the research program.
The research tasks will be in the domains of:
- Requirements Engineering for the gathering and organizing of the specifications for software production, for which epics and user stories have been adopted widely.
- Software Architecture of an application is designed employing functional and technical architectures and detailed in several other models, that are in fact perspectives of the system.
- Computational Linguistics to arrange for the proper transformation of spoken dialogues into meaningful summarized reports.
- Business model validation for the design of product segments on the Care2Report conversation summarization platform.
- Product contents validation by organizing an empirical pipeline for gathering a set of consultation dialogues with corresponding reports.
The overall goal of this year's seminar is to write a research paper with a corresponding knowledge clip (SPOC) on the Care2Report project research contribution. We will integrate current scientific knowledge on the Requirements Engineering for Software Architecture (RE4SA) model with epics, user stories, modules, and features. Various AI and software technologies will be utilized to develop a well-designed collection of research papers with learning modules consisting of short videos, explanations, and attractive presentations. Societal materials and case material in various media will be included to boost the viewer experience.
Course form
The course is run as a seminar with mostly online sessions. We will have two meetings of four hours each week, where each meeting consists of two hours plenary session, and two hours of individual coaching. The plenary meetings will be spent on interactive presentations and discussions led by students, PhDs, and staff.
We hope to have at least 2 - 4 physical meetings with all participating students, if the conditions allow us.
The research project is performed in teams of 2 assisted by peers. Students will present their proposals of papers and clips, as well as their final paper and learning module.
