Abstract

This paper reports on the practical reuse of requirements engineering processes for aero-engine control systems. An approach is presented which uses templates to model typical activities in a process, where a process execution is seen as the instantiation of the template. The paper begins with the motivations for process reuse, and then describes aspects of the template approach in greater detail. The lessons learnt about process reuse based on our experience are summarised. The paper concludes with an early evaluation on the practicality of the approach, and highlights areas of further work.
