Requirements Acquisition and Controlled Evolution
<programming, project> (RACE) A "back to basics" approach to
{requirements engineering}. The method, is being pieced
together through a series of intermediate research studies.
In essence, the approach has been to establish requirements
for RACE, identify individual techniques that meet those
requirements, experiment with the combined use of the
techniques, and finally assemble the method. In practice,
RACE has been influenced significantly by Checkland and
Wilson's {Soft Systems Methodology} (SSM) and this forms the
core of the method.
