Handling Nonfunctional Requirements for Smart Cities

Abstract

The complexity of large-scale systems combined with their intrinsic Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) (e.g., interoperability, scalability) constitute some of the challenges imposed by smart cities goals. Several proposals exist for eliciting and specifying NFRs, but not to deal with the smart cities core elements such as cloud-computing, physical devices and communication issues. Given the importance and complexity of NFRs, and their often conflicting nature, this research describes a Requirements Engineering approach to guide the elicitation and specification of NFRs based on a smart cities' framework. This approach to handle NFRs was developed in the context of the U Bike project.
