SoftWiki – Distributed, End-user Centered Requirements Engineering for Evolutionary Software Development

The aim of the cooperative research project SoftWiki is to support the collaboration of all stakeholders in software development processes in particular with respect to software requirements. Potentially very large and spatially distributed user groups shall be enabled to collect, semantically enrich, classify and aggregate software requirements. The solution will be founded on the Semantic Web standards for terminological knowledge representation. The implementation will base on generic means of semantic collaboration using next generation Web user interfaces (in the spirit of Social Software and the Web 2.0) thus fostering completely new means of Requirements Engineering with very large user groups.

National research project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, part of the research initiative “Software Engineering 2006”

AKSW at ESWC
Extended Semantic Web Conference started yesterday in Hersonissos, Crete. AKSW is involved in this years ESWC in various ways: We co-organized the 6th Workshop on Scripting and Development (SFSW10) probably for the last time this year at ESWC, since the original aim of promoting more light-weight, pragmatic semantic web applications of the SFSW workshop series [...]
