Abstract

Requirements Engineering involves a number of human intensive activities designed to help project stakeholders discover, analyze, and specify the functional and non-functional needs for a software intensive system. Recommender systems can support several different areas of this process including identifying potential subject matter experts for a topic, keeping individual stakeholders informed of relevant issues, and even recommending possible features for stakeholders to consider and explore. This position paper summarizes an extensive series of experiments that were conducted to identify best-of-breed algorithms for recommending forums to stakeholders and recommending unexplored topics to project managers.
