HDR Scholarship - Requirements engineering for artificial intelligence (AI) systems

With the emergence of internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) systems, software and systems engineering practices, in particular the requirements engineering practices, have changed substantially in the past decade. The requirements elicitation and specification need to account for the concomitant uncertainty and lack of visibility in the inner workings of these systems. The research project is targeted at building an understanding of the state-of-the-practice in requirements engineering (RE) for artificial intelligence (AI) systems and propose changes.
