Abstract :
A methodology for collaborative requirements engineering has to provide intuitive and straightforward means for involving success-critical stakeholders like customers, users, and developers. A promising approach is to provide a set of views presenting comprehensible portions of the evolving requirements model to the stakeholders. We have developed such views for requirements negotiation in the course of the EasyWinWin project. Tools supporting these views need to provide support for stakeholder collaboration as well as modeling and analysis. We have therefore integrated two COTS products: a collaboration platform and a CASE environment
