Artefacts of logic Intention
What are the advantages of stating the intention of a software in a language over expressing it as cases? “Understanding”? Continue reading

Computational Artefacts and Software Requirements
What if the intention of a technical artefact is not at all physical, but solely logical? Continue reading

Technical Artefacts and Software Requirements
The epistemic concept of “Technical Artefact” may prove useful for studying requirements engineering. It brings together the notions of the world as physical objects with the world of intentionally acting agents. Continue reading

Practical Software Analysis vs. Design Modelling
Practical modelling in software analysis differs significantly from design. The IMHO main differences are highlighted here. Continue reading
The Killer Application of Software Modelling
From my experience as a business analyst (BA) I would say: checking or transforming models is interesting and important, but the real killer application of a model in software development is (simply) talking about it. Continue reading

Categories of semantic Models by Stachowiak
Categorisation by example of semantic models, i.e. models as we use them in software engineering etc, according to Herbert Stachowiak. Continue reading

Unambiguous Requirements Models
We’ll see that the concept of ambiguity of (requirements in software engineering) models comprises structural as well as material aspects, on all model levels (top to bottom). Continue reading
Stachowiak on semantic Requirements Modelling
Excerpt of Herbert Stachowiak’s “Allgemeine Modelltheorie” (General Model Theory). Although this is on empirical-scientific models, it provides a foundation of semantic requirements modelling. Continue reading
