Abstract

Requirements elicitation is a key stage in the successful designing of the computerized information system of a distributed organization. Few works have been focusing on how a requirements analyst selects one of the existing requirements elicitation techniques, notably in a distributed cooperative environment. However, the elicitation technique selection process creates significant communication, coordination, cultural and processes diversity challenges which impact the effectiveness of all the requirements engineering process and, further, product quality. This paper presents a decision making process that allows a requirements analyst to choose an elicitation technique in a cooperative distributed environment based on stakeholders' preferences, linguistic knowledge and priorities.
