Abstract :
Taxonomy is the theory and practice of classification and employs laws and principles for classifying objects. This paper defines a taxonomy for specifying complex system requirements and investigates specification approaches. The structure provides wider systems coverage than normally specified for software systems in a number of areas, including non-functional requirements and the operational environment, and includes specification for growth and change. Methods for arriving at the taxonomy are discussed
