Abstract
Requirement specifications for complex products are hard to handle due to their high amount of number and interrelations. Thereby, requirements represent the legally binding basis for the product development. In this paper we present a concept for a task-oriented filtering and provision of requirement specifications to support the engineer in his information management. The approach is based on a semantically enhanced categorization of requirements to prepare a computer interpretable information basis. The selection of processed requirements and their monitoring with respect to changes will be implemented by means of information agents. The associated agent schema and exemplary system architecture is provided. The approach enables an optimized processing of requirements which backs an efficient product development.
