In current literature few detailed process models for Requirements Engineering are presented: usually high-level activities are distinguished, without a more precise specification of each activity. In this paper the process of Requirements Engineering has been analyzed using knowledge-level modelling techniques, resulting in a well-specified compositional process model for the Requirements Engineering task. This process model is considered to be a generic process model: it can be refined (by instantiation or specialisation) into a process model for a specific kind of Requirements Engineering process.
