Abstract

Modeling languages have been evaluated through empirical studies, comparisons of language grammars, and ontological analyses. In this paper we take the first approach, evaluating the expressiveness and effectiveness of Techne, a requirements modeling language, by applying it to three requirements problems from the literature. We use our experiences to propose a number of language improvements for Techne, addressing challenges discovered during the studies. This work presents an example evaluation of modeling language expressiveness and effectiveness through realistic case studies.
