Specifying Cross-Cutting Requirement Concerns

Addressing non-orthogonal software concerns that arisefrom requirements can significantly contribute to the complexity of developing large systems. Difficulties arise from the need to: locate related requirements, reason about the software concerns they represent, and analyze the impact of changing requirements. We address these issues through the use of requirements aspects. We present a method to identify requ irements aspects from viewpoints , to associate requirements aspects with generic design solutions based on domain experience, and to specify the generic solutions using the UML. We demonstrate these techniques using a smart home controller application.
