Abstract

Sustainability of the earth and its natural resources represents a crucial issue that must be addressed in this technology&#8211;centric century&#046; Although information services are generally not physical in nature and therefore do not directly result in the emission of greenhouse gasses or destruction of other natural resources, software does play a vital role in controlling machines and buildings that have a direct impact on the environment&#046; When the target domain of software to be developed has a potential impact on the global environment, complex factors should be taken into consideration during the analysis and definition of requirements&#046; This is a new challenge facing Requirements Engineering&#046;<B>Keywords:</B> <LI>requirements elicitation, analysis, documentation, validation and verification; <LI>requirements specification languages, methods, processes, and tools; <LI>requirements management, traceability, viewpoints, prioritization, and negotiation; <LI>modelling of requirements (formal and informal), goals, and domains; <LI>prototyping, simulation, and animation; <LI>interaction between requirements and design; <LI>evolution of requirements over time, product families, and variability; <LI>relating requirements to business goals, products, architecture, and testing; <LI>social, cultural, global, personal and cognitive factors in requirements engineering; <LI>collaborative requirements engineering; <LI>domain&#8211;specific problems, experiences and solutions<BR></LI>
