Abstract

In this position paper, we argue that search based software engineering techniques can be applied to the optimisation problem during the requirements analysis phase. Search based techniques offer significant advantages; they can be used to seek robust, scalable solutions, to perform sensitivity analysis, to yield insight and provide feedback explaining choices to the decision maker. This position paper overviews existing achievements and sets out future challenges.
