Abstract
The major challenge for manufacturing enterprises in the next century is not the competition between the richest areas of the world, but the contribution they have to make to the development of the sustainability of the planet and of an economy which will serve the needs of around ten billions people. Because responsibilities to respond to the challenge extend well beyond the capability of the individual manufacturing enterprise, cooperation between enterprises, professional societies, research and educational institutions and governments is essential.
Although the specification of requirements is one of most important premises in solving such a complex problem, the requirements for business renovation are very vague and not well defined now. This is not for lack of general recognition of its importance in the industry and the academic circles. It may be for extreme difficulty in establishing and sustaining a good cooperation between researchers and practitioners. Such an understanding suggests us to simultaneously pursue a study of a new framework for cooperation and a research of requirements engineering itself. This paper proposes a new concept of research based upon above mentioned observation and reports a case study of requirements modelling, making full use of a new intellectual infrastructure named “SINPL-MEGANET”.
