Abstract:

It is well known that the most difficult and important process within
Software Engineering is Requirements Analysis - the production of
analytic models that accurately and adequately represent the
requirements of the system to be built. This paper presents a series of
patterns that can be followed in order to produce such models in an
object-oriented context. The paper also includes examples of
processes to be followed, tools to be used, and products to be
produced.
