Abstract
In a pilot study, professional information technologists from both commercial and academic institutions showed that representing the requirements for a simple television remote control device could be done accurately and completely using separate languages that are for 1) user interface specification, and 2) system specification, and, 3) with natural language. That individuals can create 3 separate, but equivalent representations is important because, with the aid of an underlying meta-representation, it allows system stakeholders to view software requirements in whatever way best represents their particular area of concern, while maintaining internal consistency between views.
