The seminar will cover the following topics:

• Professor Barry Boehm: The USC WinWin requirements negotiation system addresses critical issues in requirements engineering including (1) multi-stakeholder considerations, (2) change management, and (3) groupware support. This paper presents our current research efforts on constructing and reconciling several formal and semi-formal models of the system and its operations, including inter-artifact relationship, artifact life cycles, and equilibrium model. It concentrates on determining the relationships among the various models or views of the WinWin requirements engineering process.

• Tekn. lic. Joachim Karlsson: A crucial but often underrated problem in software development is deciding what not to do, in order to cut development costs and reduce lead time. An effective process supporting project managers in negotiating a "no" and practical experiences indicating its usefulness are reported.
