Abstract [eng] |
Hybrid systems, consisting of hardware, software and the social aspect, are called cyber– physical–social systems. Such systems are considered to be a new generation of systems. As these are new generation systems, their development has not been fully explored. The development of cyber–physical–social systems faces various challenges. In this work, traceability problem is pointed out and discussed in more detail. Because these next–generation systems are made up of many components, it becomes difficult to keep track of the connections between them. Also in such systems, the implementation is performed in the context of both the autonomous component and the system as a whole. An analysis of the literature has shown, current tracing methods do not solve the problems. Analysis of tracing matrices, lists, trees, tracing by identifier and attributes revealed that none of these methods are suitable for solving the problems raised. An alternative method for tracing requirements in cyberphysical–social systems was sought. A quality house for the dissemination of quality functions was used to address the issues raised. Although this methodology is not specifically designed to track requirements, a modified quality house can be used for this purpose. The work presented modifications for a quality house. The method was tested by describing the tracing relationships of a cyber–physical–social system. The smart city system was chosen as an example, the connections between different artifacts are described, and quality houses are drawn, visualizing the connections between different levels of requirements. The paper concludes that tracing the requirements with the help of quality houses provides more information than traditional methods and it is displayed more conveniently. |
