Research topic
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.
Project aim
The PhD project will investigate the requirements engineering (RE) practices in artificial intelligence (AI) projects. The candidate will research on the current industrial practices and the challenges faced by the practitioners, when defining and building predictive components for software and systems engineering. The project would further develop human-in-the-loop techniques and tools for effective requirements elicitation, specification and management. The enabling technologies for this project will be natural language processing and machine learning.
