Abstract

This introduction reviews the RE process: identifying the stakeholders in a project,determining who and how important they are, prioritizing the identified stakeholder roles, and selecting representative individuals orgroups from the identified and prioritized stakeholder roles with whom the development team can elicit and validate system requirements.The authors then mention each article in the issue in the context of today's latest thinking on RE.This article introduces a specialissue on stakeholders in requirements engineering.
